22. Programming in Operational Mode: OP PROG
= Operational Mode Programming“
also known as Programming on the main” (POM) or
“Programming on-the-fly”.
OP PROG is started from the driving mode LOCO
or SWI with
E- Key (to E-screen) + F- Key
In contrast to SERV PROG, the OP PROG always re-
fers to the currently active address displayed on the
controller and therefore it is not necessary to enter or
read-out the address first.

The Help-File for OP PROG can be 
reached with Soft-Key I:
E- Key Exits the OP PROG mode.
If the E-Key is pressed within the working area of
address or CV programming, the program switch-
es back to the programming menu first; only a
SECOND E-Key actuation exits OP PROG com-
pletely.

The first screen when entering OP PROG is a menu screen; ABOVE is the display shown of a de-
coder with working RailCom feedback, which makes identification possible: Information such as
manufacturer, software version and decoder ID are read out and displayed automatically (in magen-
ta, the color for RailCom);
BELOW is the display of a decoder WITHOUT working RailCom feedback and is therefore
unidentifiable (i.e. the decoder is not equipped with RailCom, disrupted transmission etc.): the
message “not identifiable” is displayed but the CV programming can still be started with the U-Key
(although reading decoder CVs won’t work).

Use the displayed function keys from the menu to switch to the actual working area:
TP- Key the decoder is once again identified (manufacturer, SW version… same as during entry),
A- Key the decoder input screen is displayed where a new address can be written to the decoder (pro-
vided the decoder allows programming a decoder address on the main track, which the NMRA R&R does not provide for).
A- Key (= Shift-A) Screen for entering a consist address (CVs #19, 20) including supplementary info.
U- Key opens the CV-Programming page, where CVs can be read-out and programmed; see
below for details.

NOTE: OP PROG is possible while driving or at standstill. The vehicle can be driven normally while
programming or reading out data. Of course, data transmission tends to be worse while driving and it is
therefore recommended to drive only when RailCom feedback is available (or the programming chang-
es can be seen instantly by the vehicle’s behavior).
