I'm new to DCC and I just put a DN163K1A in my KATO SD70MAC. I want to 'play' with the several CV values but where can I find an explanation and overview of all the values? The explanations in the instruction guide are unclear to me.
I would go to the Digitrax website and download their decoder manual. In it you will find all of the CV values. Be aware that some only function with certain decoders. Digitrax Decoder Manual Link David
Mottow: CV 2 set to 30 CV 3 set to 15 CV 4 set to 20 CV 5 set to 100 CV 6 set to 150 These CV's will get you started programming the loco's speed , acceleration and deceleration. The maximum values for CV 3 & 4 are 31. The maximum values for CV 2, 5 & 6 are 255 You must play around with the numbers I have given you. It is a good "ballpark" number to start with. Download the Digitrax decoder manual explaining all the CV's. Have fun....
