Summary

3 CVs in DCC operation

3.1 Basic Configuration

Covers fundamental CV settings for basic decoder configuration, including addresses, operating modes, and braking.

3.4 Vehicle address(es) in DCC mode

Explains how to set and manage vehicle addresses in DCC mode, including short and extended addressing schemes.

3.7 Acceleration and deceleration momentum

Covers CV settings for adjusting acceleration and deceleration times, affecting the locomotive's driving behavior.

3.10 Stop in front of a red signal and driving slowly by “asymmetrical DCC-Signal” stops (Lenz ABC)

Describes the "asymmetrical DCC-Signal" (Lenz ABC) method for stopping trains at signals and slow driving.

3.19 Dimming, High/Low beam and Direction Bits

Details how to control dimming for lighting effects, high/low beams, and direction-dependent lighting via CVs.

3.21 Effects for function outputs (US and other lighting effects, smoke generators, uncouplers, etc.)

Covers advanced effects for function outputs, including lighting sequences, smoke generators, and uncouplers.

3.25 Servo Configuration

Explains the configuration of servos connected to the decoder, including protocol, positions, and function assignments.

5 ZIMO SOUND – Selection and Programming

5.1 CV #300 - procedures"

Details the CV #300 procedure for modifying sound parameters like sample selection and volume during operation.

5.3 SOUND: Basic settings independent of powertrain

Covers basic sound settings applicable to all decoder types, including total volume and function sound controls.

5.4 SOUND: Steam engine

Provides specific sound configuration settings for steam engines, including chuff frequency and volume adjustments.

5.5 SOUND: Steam locomotive Load and acceleration dependency

Explains how sound volume adjusts based on engine load and acceleration for steam locomotives.

5.6 Diesel and Electric engines Diesel motor, Turbocharger Thyristor, Electric motor, Switchgear sound

Details sound configurations for diesel and electric engines, covering motor sounds, turbochargers, and switchgear.

5.7 Coasting and Notching

Covers functions for driving situations requiring specific engine sounds like coasting or notching, especially for diesels.
