A value of 1 will force a delay of .007 seconds between speed steps in 128 speed
mode (.032 seconds in 28 speed mode). This is equivalent to .896 seconds (.007 x
128 speeds) to go from speed 0 to full speed. A value of 10 will yield about 8.9
seconds to full speed.
DECELERATION (CV4)
Deceleration works to delay the slowing down of the motor with the same timing as
acceleration.

MOTOR PWM FREQUENCY (CV9)
DCC decoders almost always drive the motor of the locomotive with Pulse Width
Modulation (PWM). This is a series of full voltage pulses that vary in width from very
narrow for low motor speed to very wide providing higher power to the motor.

How often the pulses are sent is called the frequency. The frequency is adjustable
on some decoders. Settings for this CV vary so consult your decoder manual for the
proper value. If your decoder is capable of ‘silent’ operation usually a 0 is required.
NCE TORQUE COMPENSATION (Dither) KICK RATE
(CV116)
If your decoder supports NCE torque compensation this menu item will be displayed.
If not you will be sent to SET UP FUNCTION MAPPING.
NCE decoders since version 3.5 provide Torque Compensation for smooth low
speed operation. Torque Compensation gives a steady stream of ‘kicks’ to the motor
when running at very low speeds. You can adjust how often the motor is kicked
(Kick Rate) and how hard it is kicked (Kick Strength).

CV116 controls the rate. The typical value is 2-4 with the maximum practical value of
about 6. The smaller the number the more often the motor gets a brief voltage kick. A
value of 0 turns off the kick. A value of 1 gives continuous kicks to the motor (not
very useful). When using Torque Compensation set the Start Voltage to 0 for best
operation.
NCE TORQUE COMPENSATION (Dither) KICK DEPTH
(CV117)
This is how hard the motor is kicked at low speed. Typical values range from 1 to 40.
High quality motors (Kato) need very little kick strength where lower quality motors
such as old Athearn and LifeLike need relatively large values (30-50) for slow speed
