6.3 Constant braking distance
Functioning: During the transition from one running notch to running notch 0 (e.g. by moving the
turning-knob of the manual control to the left limit-stop), the locomotive/train covers a settable,
defined braking distance. This braking distance does not depend on the speed of the
locomotive/train.
The length of the braking distance covered is set in CV61. The braking distance varies depending
on the value set in this CV:

A low value in CV61 results in a short braking
distance, independent of the speed (V1, V2,
V3).
A high value in CV61 results in a long braking
distance, independent of the speed (V1, V2,
V3).
