Your Digitrax decoder is ready to run and will operate using address 03 with no
additional programming. For a more prototypical railroading experience, your
decoder can be customized for your specific locomotive by programming some
of the Configuration Variables, or CVs, available. See the Digitrax Decoder
Manual or the Digitrax web site for more information.

The first CV most people change is the decoder address so that the loco can be
independently controlled with it’s own unique address. All Digitrax decoders
are shipped with CV01 (AD2), the two digit address, set to 03. See your Starter
Set Manual for complete programming instructions. Following is a brief
description of how to change the decoder address with a DT series throttles.

1. Place the loco on the programming track. Go into Program Mode on your

system. On DT400 press 

PROG

. On DT300, DT100 & DT200 press

RUN/STOP & FN/F0.

2. Choose AD2 for 2 digit addressing or AD4 for 4 digit addressing (DT300 &

DT400). (Ad for DT100 & DT200, see set manual for 4 digit instructions).

3. Choose the address you want to set up for the decoder.

4. Complete address programming. On DT400 press 

ENTER

. On DT300,

DT100 & DT200 press 

SEL

.  

Note:

CV29 must also be programmed to enable 4 digit addressing, this is

done automatically by the DT300 & DT400 but not on earlier throttles.

Your locomotives look like the real thing, now you can make them run like the
real thing, too. Digitrax decoders incorporate torque compensation for smooth
as silk operation. You can also program CVs that control momentum, 3 step
and 128 step speed tables, switching speed, normal direction of travel,
scaleable speed stabilization and more to take full advantage of the Digitrax
LocoMotion System.

Acceleration is controlled by CV03 and deceleration by CV04. Both come
from the factory set to 000/x00. A range of 000/x00/ to 031/x1F is available for
both accel and decel. We recommend that you try CV03:003/x03 and
CV04:000/x00 as a starting point for experimenting with momentum.

There are two types of speed tables: 3 Step Tables and High Resolution 28 Step
Tables. Please see your Decoder Manual for a discussion of the 28 Step Tables.
The 3 Step Tables are set up by programming 3 CVs:  Start Voltage (CV02),
