5. Press the
R
Throttle
to activate the CV value. You will see the
icon dis-
played on the right of the DT402 display when you are entering CV
Values. Use the
R
Throttle
to dial up or the keypad to enter the CV value
you want. CV values are displayed as decimal numbers (0-255) by default.
Remember that you can press the
R
Throttle
knob to toggle the CV value
display between decimal and hex as shown below.
6. Press the
eNTeR
key to program the selected CV value into the selected
CV number.
7. Press the
eXIT
key to quit programming mode and return to normal opera-
tions. You can program as many CVs and their values as you want in a
session. When you are finished, press Press the
eXIT
key to quit program-
ming mode and return to normal operations.
8. If your command station is a DB150 and you are using any method other
than Operation mode for programming, you will need to turn track power
back on after you complete programming. Press the
PWR
key, then press
the
Y / +
key, then press the
PWR
key to exit power mode. DCS100 does
not require this step.
17.3 Operations Mode Programming
Operations mode programming lets you program CVs in decoder equipped
locomotives equipped with Extended Packet Format 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 locomo-
tives to simulate the weight and braking capability of the train to compensate
for changing the number of cars or power units on a train.
Your DT402 can use ops mode programming to change the CV value in ANY
CV, including 2-digit and 4-digit addresses.
Ops mode programming can be performed by any DT402 at any time since the
throttles are not competing for usage of the single programming track.
DT402 throttles must be plugged in for Ops Mode. DT402D and DT402R
throttles can do Ops Mode Programming wirelessly.
