PROGRAMMING ON THE MAIN
Programming on the Main is also called Operations (OPS) Mode programming. OPS
programming allows you to change parameters while the loco is on the main track (even
while it’s running). This does not affect other locomotives on the track. You can even
change the locomotive address.

We first begin by telling the system which locomotive to program. If you want to program
the locomotive you are currently operating just press ENTER. If you wish to program a
different locomotive just enter its address at the above prompt.
WHAT TO PROGRAM
After determining which locomotive you wish to program you will see the following
display. The Power Pro system provides 9 different OPs mode programming options.

The first three options are displayed. Press ENTER to see more options. For example: If
you wish to set the locomotive address press 1, if you want to program CVs press 2.
Descriptions of each programming option are described below.
1 ............................. SET UP LOCOMOTIVE ADDRESS
2 ............................. CHANGE ANY CV IN THE DECODER
3 ............................. SET UP THE DECODER CONFIGURATION (CV29)
4 ............................. MOTOR CONTROL
5 ............................. FUNCTION MAP
6 ............................. NCE EFFECTS
7 ............................. Not Used
8 ............................. QSI SOUND
9 ............................. BIN CV
ADDRESS PROGRAMMING (Option 1)
This option provides a means by which to program the address of your locomotive. Most
decoders allow programming of the locomotive address while on the mainline. The first
thing to do is decide if you want to program a long or short address into the locomotive.

In DCC there are 2 kinds of addresses (loco numbers), long and short. Short addresses
range from 1 to 127 and long addresses range from 0-9999. We normally recommend
using long addresses for all your locomotives. Consists require the use of a short
address so it is better to conserve short addresses by using long addresses for individual
locomotives. Push the digit button that corresponds to the type of address you wish to
program. You will then be presented with the display below.
