Programming the Decoder
The eMOTION XL Decoder supports all programming methods according to NMRA/DCC standards.
Please note that not all of the DCC systems currently available can be programmed according to
this standard. The manufacturer of your DCC system should give you in-depth information.
Reading Configuration Variables (CVs)
The readout of CV parameters is essential for checking the programmed settings and it is not to be
mistaken for programming. The eMOTION XL Decoder provides this function and the readout can
be easily accomplished with the DiMAX Navigator or any other handheld controller. After inserting
the requested CV No. the controller will display the value of the respective parameter.
Writing Configuration Variables (Cvs)
Programming (writing) the CV values is the easiest way of programming the Decoder. This method
is utilized by most of the DCC systems. Using your DiMAX Navigator or any other hand held
controller, you select the desired CV parameter and insert your desired value. Programming is done
on a separate programming track or a piece of track that is used as programming track. Please
check the manual of your central station.
Writing the Configuration Variables (CVs) Bit by Bit
Some of the CV parameters consist of multiple binary values. This means that several values are
combined in one value (e.g. CV 29). Programming a CV of this kind requires that all values of all
functions controlled by this CV need to be summed up. A deactivated function always is “0”, an
active function must be programmed with the respective value. The sum represents the value is the
CV and must be written into the CV parameter.
