NOTE
- CV21 is ONLY used when you have some value other than
0 written to CV19. If CV19 = 0 then the values of CV21, CV22,
CV23, and CV24 are not used
1.
Call up your Middle engine (address 2 in the example)
2.
Since you want to have the Middle engine respond to F3
only then write a value of 4 (CV21, bit 2 = ON)
3.
Call up your Rear engine (address 3 in the example)
4.
Since you want to have the Rear engine respond to the
Start-Up/Shut Down (F3) and Rear Coupler (F8) functions you
want to write a value of 132 to CV21
Your engines are now set up according to the example above.
You will note that there is no F0 in CV21. This is because that
function (FL) is controlled by CV22. Please refer to the Advanced
Consisting section for more information regarding Cv22.
Programming Track
Your MTH PS3.0-equipped HO engine can function on
Programming Track outputs from DCC systems. Because each
DCC system manufacturer's output capabilities on the
Programming Track differ it is recommended that you use a DCC
Programming Track Booster to perform functions on the
programming track. Simply put – try to program or read back the
address of an MTH engine on a programming track. If you can
read/write the address then you won't need a Programming Track
Booster. If your DCC system can't read/write then you will likely
need a Programming Track booster. There are a few different
manufacturers of these boosters. Your local dealer can provide you
with more information on these boosters. MTH has used the DCC
Specialties Power Pax with some success.
Note – An alternative to writing on a Programming Track is to
simply Program on the Main (PoM). MTH engines support PoM to
write any CV on the main. However, read back is not supported on
the main. Check with your DCC system's manufacturer to see
about any limitations they may have to PoM.
