Configuration for a Locomotive
programmable Locomotives


All of the definitions for a locomotive are made here. They are stored in the Central Stationt.

When a locomotive is registered with its locomotive card all of the definitions have been made already on the card. You can change these definitions in any event and save the changed data on the card where applicable with the button .

The locomotive can be assigned a name of your choice under "Name", and this name enables you to recognize the locomotive immediately. To do this, press briefly on the button to the right of the entry field so that a keyboard is shown. You don't have to refer to the address here. Also, you can look for an image or icon for the locomotive. There is a whole series of locomotive icons available.

The type of decoder installed in the locomotive is selected under "Decoder Type". This is only necessary if a new locomotive is being entered manually. You can select from these types:
- MM2 locomotive with decode switches
- MM2 programmable locomotive
- mfx locomotives register themselves

The address can be selected with the +/- buttons.
Note:
Make sure that you have selected the right type of decoder before setting the address!
Another option is to read out the address for the locomotive through the Central StationĀ 
The button starts the readout procedure, which lasts a few seconds. Also, the locomotive must be standing on the programming track.
Note:
When a locomotive is being entered as a new locomotive, not all of the settings can be done at that point. You cannot do them until the settings for the address and name are defined and saved. You can use the button to do this.
The button can be used to read out CVs in the decoder and change them on locomotives with programmable decoders.

The button can be used to assign a locomotive to a shuttle train route. When a locomotive is assigned to a shuttle train route, the button changes to

The settings for acceleration delay, braking delay, minimum delay, maximum delay, speedometer, and volume are available only in conjunction with programmable decoders. With the exception of the setting for the speedometer, all of the other settings program the decoder in the locomotive. Here too, the locomotive must be standing on the programming track to do this.
The setting "Speedometer" changes the display for the speedometer on the locomotive controller in the Central Station.

The functions F0 through F15 can be positioned in the right vertical field. In the process a function symbol is assigned to each function. The assignment of functions to function buttons cannot however be changed.
