2. Choose AD2 for 2 digit addressing or AD4 for 4 digit addressing (DT400/DT402

and DT300). (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/DT402 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 DT400/DT402 & DT300 but not on earlier throttles.

Digitrax LocoMotion® System

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.

Momentum-CV03 & CV04

Momentum is part of the LocoMotion

®

System. Acceleration is controlled by

CV03 and deceleration by CV04. Both come from the factory set to 000. A
range of 000 to 031 is available for both accel and decel. Try CV03:003 and
CV04:000 as a starting point for experimenting with momentum.

Speed Tables-How the Loco Responds to the Throttle

With Digitrax LocoMotion

®

, 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), Mid point Voltage (CV06) and Max Voltage
(CV05). These values are set at 000 at the factory. All have a range of values

from 000 to 255. We recommend the following CV values as a starting point for
experimenting with speed tables.
