The setting and deleting of individual bits is particularly easy with
the manual controls LH100 (from version 2 on), LH200 and
LH90. These devices have a menu designed specifically for this
purpose.
If you use a LH100 of a version smaller than 2, you will not be
able to program in the binary mode. The same is true for the
"
compact
" and possibly devices of other manufacturers. In this
case you will have to enter a decimal number in the CV which
corresponds to the set or deleted bits. For more information
please refer to the Appendix, Section "Bits and bytes -
conversion help”.
3.3.1
Counting principles of bits
In the engineering field it is common to start counting bits from 0
onwards. Since this does not correspond to normal linguistic
use, we start counting bits with 1 (you don’t count the coaches of
your train starting 0, 1, 2, do you?). This method applies to all
Digital plus devices and decoders. When programming your
decoders with devices of other manufacturers, you may have to
start with 0, therefore we have put the number for the counting
method starting from 0 in brackets behind the bit numbers.
Example:
Bit 2 (1):
The number in front of the brackets represents the bit
number for the counting method starting from 1; the
number in brackets shows the bit number starting
from 0.
