Deceleration Rate (dEc): This rate simulates the drag of a heavy load as the loco slows

PROGRAMMING LOCOS ON THE MAIN TRACK
Programming on the Main Track can save you the e󰀨ort of moving a loco to the Program
Track for programming. However, you have to know the loco address in order to program
on the Main Track. Otherwise you have to program the loco on the Program Track. Not
all decoders support the Program on Main feature. Please read your decoder’s manual to
check whether the decoder supports this feature.
1. Make sure your Cab is allowed to program on the Main Track
2. To program on the Main Track, press PROG to select “Prog Main Track”. Press
ENTER. The current loco address will ash, prompting you to program the current
loco.
3. To program the current loco, press ENTER; to program another loco, enter its address
and press ENTER.
4. The rest of the programming procedures are the same as the Programming on
Program Track procedures (see above). We recommend you bring the loco to a
stop before programming because if the moving loco has a bad pickup, it may fail to
receive the program command, causing a malfunction.
