LocoNet:
Digitrax’s powerful communications network especially designed for
model railroad operation.
LocoNet ID:
Mid-Point Voltage:
the value programmed into CV06 specifies the voltage to
apply to the motor at speed step 15 in a 28/128 step system and step 7 in a 14
speed step system. This allows you to make a quick adjustment to the motor
voltage/speed curve without setting up a loadable speed table.
MU:
Multiple unit operations. See Consisting.
N:
No, use the
N / -
key to respond to DT400/DT402 series throttle text mes-
sages.
New (Loco Status):
a locomotive that has not been addressed by the system.
A new loco is selectable by throttles on LocoNet and is not refreshed.
Operating Mode:
14 or 28/128 speed steps. See also, Speed Steps, Standard
Mode, Advanced Mode and 128 Speed Step Mode.
Operations (OPS) Mode Programming:
lets you program CVs in DCC locos
equipped with EPF decoders while they are on the mainline. A typical use for
ops mode programming would be to change the acceleration rate (CV03) or the
deceleration rate (CV04) of your locos to simulate the weight and braking char-
acteristics of the train to compensate for changing the number of cars and
power units in the train.
Paged Programming:
Digitrax preferred method of service mode program-
ming.
Physical Register Programming:
A primitive type of service mode program-
ming. This method is limited to programming 2 digit address, acceleration,
deceleration and start voltage.
Power Booster:
See Booster
Power District and Power Sub-district:
A power district is the power wiring,
components and equipment attached to that wiring, driven by a single properly
isolated booster. A power sub-district is a sub-division of a power district.
Power Station:
See Booster
Power Supply:
a transformer that provides power to the layout control system.
Programming:
entering values into configuration variables (CVs) available in
DCC decoders or option settings for the throttle or command stations.
