CONFIGURATION VARIABLES
Conguration Variables, also known as CVs, receive and hold entered data that allow the
decoder to be tailored to a specic loco or accessory. Some CVs are also called registers.
The Prodigy Advance
2
DCC system allows you to perform most basic programming
without having to concern yourself with CVs or registers. Of course, if you want to program
CVs to custom tailor your decoders or select certain functions, the Prodigy Advance
2
has
this capability.
Most Commonly Used CVs
The CVs listed on the chart below are contained in almost all decoders, with additional
CVs for extra functions – sound or light – in more specialized decoders. See the decoder
manufacturer’s instruction manual for a list of CVs contained in that specic decoder and
what values to enter for those CVs.
