9:Configuring Light Ports on Quantum Revolution-A
The Quantum Revolution-A sound decoder has 6 Light ports or outputs. These are numbered 1-6
and must be configured for the following features using Q2Upgrade and then downloading the
configured firmware to the locomotive using the Quantum Programmer. Default Diesel settings
(after 7-28-08) are shone
below.Ports 1 and 2 are
reserved for the Front
and Rear Headlights.
Ports 3 – 6 can be
configured for any other
feature. Note that each
port can only have one
feature assigned to it
and can only be changed
using Q2Upgrade and
then downloading the
configured firmware to
the locomotive using the
Quantum Programmer.
QSI CV#’s
QSI uses several unique CV’s in their decoders. These have up to 3 parts.
Example: CV 55.70.1
55 is the CV Number (think of this as a room in a house)
.70 is the Primary Index (think of this as a closet in the room)
.1 is the Secondary Index (think of this as a shelf in the closet)
To set a QSI CV’s:
1. Set CV49 to the Primary index value
2. Set CV50 to the Secondary Index value (If no Secondary Index is shown set CV 50 to 0)
3 Now set the CV# to whatever value gives you the feature desired.
Example: CV 55.70.1
1) Set CV 49 to 70
2) Set CV 50 to 1
3) Set CV 55 to 6
This will make the
Front Headlight Bright
when the loco is
moving Forward, Dim
when it is moving
Forward and stops, Off
in Reverse, and OFF
when it is going in
reverse and comes to
a stop.
