Programming the locomotive decoder LE230
Locomotive address, acceleration and brake momentum and all
other properties of the decoder can be changed as often as
desired. This process is called programming.
The properties will be saved in non-volatile memory locations on
the locomotive decoder. The values will be permanently saved,
even after disconnecting the operating voltage. These memory
locations are called "Configuration Variables, or CVs" by the
NMRA. The LE230 has a total of 128 CVs. Not all of them are
used at this time as many are reserved for future use.
The reading and writing of these values is done electronically,
the locomotive does not need to be opened after initial
installation of the decoder to read of later modify any CV value.
Any NMRA DCC Command Station, such as the DIGITAL plus
LZ100 and a Hand Held LH100 or an Interface LI100, can be
used to program the locomotive decoder LE230. With older
command stations (including Arnold or Märklin) the decoder
supports index mode, a special form of register mode which
allows you to easily address all the CVs. Using the Arnold
Commander 6, or the ROCO 'DIGITAL is cool' command station,
only register 1 (locomotive address) can be set. Many other
DCC command stations support paged programming. The
LE230 supports this mode as well. Details for reading and writing
the decoder’s configuration variables can be found in the
manuals of the appropriate equipment.
