3.20 Flasher Effect
Flashing is actually a lighting effect just like all the others that are summarized in the CV’s starting
with #125; for historical reasons though they are listed with their own CV’s #117 and #118.

Description
#117
Flasher functions
Outputs are assigned in
CV #118.
0 - 99
0
Duty cycle for flasher function:
Tens digit = OFF time / Ones digit = ON time
(0 = 100msec, 1 = 200msec…..9 = 1 sec)
Example:
CV #117 = 55: Flashes evenly at 1 a second interval.
#118
Flashing mask
-
Defines which outputs
operate as flashers.
Rhythm is defined in
CV #117
Bits
0 - 7
0
Selected function outputs will flash when turned ON.
Bit 0 - front headlights
Bit 1 - rear headlights
Bit 2 - function output FO1, Bit 3 - …FO2
Bit 4 - …FO3, Bit 5 - function output FO4.
Respective Bit = 0: No flasher
Respective Bit = 1: Output flashes when turned ON.
Bit 6 = 1: FO2 flashes inverse!
Bit 7 = 1: FO4 flashes inverse!
(for alternate flashing, i.e. wig-wag)
EXAMPLE:
CV #118 = 12: FO1 and FO2 are defined as flashers.
CV #118 = 168: Alternate flashing of FO2 and FO4, if
both are switched on.

LGB systems)
…
Bit 7 = 0: No pulse chain generation

LGB sound modules.
3.22 Special Effects for Function Outputs
(US and other lighting effects, smoke generators, uncouplers etc.)
Special effects can be assigned to a total of 10 function outputs with
CV’s #125, #126, #127 … #132, #159, #160
for F0fr., F0rear. FO1 ...... FO6 , FO7 , FO8
The values for these special effect CV’s contain the
actual 6-Bit special effects code and the 2-Bit directions code
Bits 1,0 = 00: bidirectional (active in both directions)
= 01: active in forward direction only (+ 1)
= 10: active in reverse direction only (+ 2)
Bits 7 ... 2 = 000000xx No effect, except for direction = (0), 1, 2 (bidirectional, forward, reverse)
= 000001xx Mars light + direction = 4, 5, 6 (bidirectional, forward, reverse)
= 000010xx Random flicker + direction = 8, 9, 10 (ditto, ditto, ditto)
= 000011xx Flashing headlight + direction = 12, 13, 14 …
= 000100xx Single pulse strobe + direction = 16, 17, 18
= 000101xx Double pulse strobe + direction = 20, 21, 22
= 000110xx Rotary beacon + direction = 24, 25, 26
= 000111xx Gyralite + direction = 28, 29, 30
= 001000xx Ditch light type 1, right + direction = 32, 33, 34
= 001001xx Ditch light type 1, left + direction = 36, 37, 38
= 001010xx Ditch light type 2, right + direction = 40, 41, 42
= 001011xx Ditch light type 2, left. + direction = 44, 45, 46
= 001100xx Uncoupler as defined in CV #115 = 48, 49, 50
automatic disengagement in CV #116
= 001101xx “Soft start” = slow dimming up of function output = 52, 53, 54
= 001110xx Automatic stoplights for trams,
stoplight-off delay, see CV #63. = 56, 57, 58
= 001111xx Function output turns itself off at speed >0 = 60, 61, 62
(i.e. turns off cab light when driving).
NOT for MX621 = 010000xx Function output turns itself off after 5 minutes = 64, 65, 66
(i.e. to protect smoke generators form overheating).
-“- = 010001xx As above, but after 10 minutes = 68, 69, 70
-“- = 010010xx Speed or load dependent smoke generation = 72, 73, 75
for steam engines as per CV’s #137 – #139 (i.e. pre-heating at
stand still, heavy smoke at high speed or high load). Smoke
turns off as per CV #353; function key has to be pressed to
reactivate smoke.
-“- = 010100xx Driving state-dependent smoke generation for diesel engines = 80, 81, 82
as per CV’s #137 – #139 (i.e. pre-heating at stand still, heavy
smoke during motor start-up sound and acceleration).
Synchronized control of fan connected to the fan output. Smoke
turns off as per CV #353; function key must be pressed to
reactivate smoke.
-“- = 100010xx Slow fade in/out of a function output; useful for various = 88, 89, 90
lighting effects or motorized equipment (i.e. fan, snow blower). (SW version
Dimming time is set with CV’s #190 and #19 33.10 and higher)
-“- = 010111xx effect of flourescent lamp (SW-Version 36.7 and higher) = 92, 93, 94
-“- = 011000xx sparks with hevy braking (SW-Version 37.0 and higher) = 96, 97, 98
