Example: Service Programming Motion CVs
For this example, the decoder will be programmed to have a motor starting voltage, MSV, of 10
and an acceleration rate of 4 and a deceleration rate of 2.
Service Programming always starts by putting the locomotive on the programming track. Make
sure the wheels are clean as well as the programming track. Poor contact between the locomotive
and the programming track can cause the programing commands to be ignored. Remember that
you can’t hurt the decoder by programming.
The moment ENT is pressed, the MSV value of 10 is sent to the
decoder.
Note the message asking if you want to program something else. Let’s keep going and program
the ACCL and DECL values. There is no need to push SVC PRGM again; just enter the next item
to be programmed.
Keep going - there is no need to push SVC PRGM again; just enter the next item to be
programmed which is the deceleration value.
This is the last entry for this example.
Push ESC to finish and return to the normal display. This concept of continuous entry is a handy
method for loading a bunch of CVs are one time and cuts down on the number of keystrokes. If an
incorrect value is accidentally used, just restart with the item you want to change and put in the
wanted value.

EasyDCC Uses Decimal Values For All Entries
EasyDCC uses decimal for all CV value entries (0-9). However, your
decoder manual may suggest the use of “hexadecimal” numbers (0-F)
for CV values. Before using a hex value, you must convert it to its
equivalent decimal value. A conversion table is in the back of this
manual. But, if you forget to convert the value no harm is done.
