14.1.1 Difference between Operation mode programming
and service mode programming
When you use operations mode programming or “Programming
on the Main”, the locomotive can be operating anywhere on your
layout. To communicate with this exact locomotive and differentiate
it from all others, you must know the address of this locomotive. In
operations mode programming the locomotive receives a command
that can be written something like this:
“Locomotive number 1234, enter the value 15 in CV4.”
Only the locomotive with address 1234 will carry out this command.
When you use service mode or “programming on the
programming track” it is not necessary to know the address of
the receiver. In this case the decoder will receive a command in this
format:
“Write the value 15 in CV4”
Each and every decoder that receives this command will also carry
it out.
14.1.2 When do you need the programming on the
programming track?
1. Whenever you want to change the address of a locomotive
decoder.
2. When you want to display information currently stored within the
CV
3. There are also Digital plus by Lenz ® decoders that do not
understand the “Programming on the Main” mode.
Many entry level, older locomotive or most accessory decoders do
not have the capability to be programmed using operations mode
programming. For all these decoders you need to use the
“Programming on the programming track” mode.
