(3) Now we need to set White wire control / CV49 and Yellow wire control / CV50 to Rule 17 always on.

 

The options for this are 8 (Rule 17 fwd. only) 24 (rule 17 Rev only) or 40 (rule 17 always / manual) 

 

So... For BOTH CV49 and CV50, enter 40.

 

 

(3) Now to reallocate function control. We are going to make White F0, Yellow  F1, Green F2, Purple 

F3. 

White is already F0 so leave it. To remap the others just set their function allocation CVs to the following 

values. 

 

CV34 enter 4, CV35 enter 8, CV36 enter 16.

 

 

Did you follow that OK> If so, then it is time to take a break & have a Play with Rule 17!

LaisDcc decoders include a user editable speed table in 28 steps (the decoder interprets the gaps 

between each step in 128 mode). This allows you to tailor each individual speed step to achieve your own 

specific custom acceleration results. 

 

You can activate the custom speed table by adding 16 to whatever number is already in CV29. The speed 

table itself is contained in 28 CV’s between (including) CV67 and CV94. We strongly recommend that you 

spend time reviewing the existing set-up of each step prior to attempting to create your own customized 

speed table. 

 

We also strongly recommend that you write down the original settings before changing them. As always, if 

you make a mistake or lose track, a simple “reset” of the decoder will get you going again (CV8 = 2). 

 

I’ve tried to avoid tables in these instructions as much as I can, but in this case, there is no other way! 

(Note: we may tweak or adjust these values from time to time, so exact default numbers may vary slightly)

This is a REALLY helpful feature, especially if you model with modern multi-coach DMU or EMU sets! 

 

When you use more than one decoder in a dual powered locomotive, or perhaps several within a multi-unit 

EMU,  DMU  or  diesel  set,  it  is  helpful  if  they  can  be  locked  and  unlocked  one  at  a  time  to  allow  individual 

adjustments. This is how to do it so it works every time. 

 

Scenario:  A  multi-unit  set  will  have  6  decoders  in  it.  All  will  have  the  same  address  but  may  need 

individual changes at some point in time.

 

 

Step 1: Before making up the set, give each decoder the same address but a different number in CV16. (ie: 

lead decoder 1 then 2,3,4,5,6 for subsequent decoders.) 

 

Step 2:  Program  any  wanted  changes  in  each  decoder,  then  change  CV  15  from its  default  of  zero  to  a 

number  above  the  highest  CV16  number  used  in  step  1  (i.e.:  for  our  example  set  CV15  in  all  to  7).  This 

will lock that decoder and prevent accidental changes to all decoders. 

 

Step 3: To adjust an individual decoder later without affecting the others, even though they are all set to the 

same  number,  set  CV  15  to  the  step  1  CV16  number  of  the  one  you  want  to  change.  By  making  CV15  = 

CV16 in that decoder you will unlock that specific decoder only.
