Setting the Hyperlight Effects
For each lighting output, there is a corresponding CV that determines its
operating characteristics. To set the Hyperlight CVs, proceed as follows:
1.
Locate the CV value for the desired effect and operating mode from
Table E.
2.
To enable Rule 17 Mode, add 64 to the table value. Otherwise,
proceed to Step 3.
3.
If you are using LED bulbs, enable LED Compensation Mode by
adding 128 to the value from Step 1 (or Step 2 if using Rule 17
Mode). If you are using incandescent bulbs, skip to Step 4.
4.
Program the final sum for the selected function output into the
corresponding CV. Use CV 49 to configure the headlight, CV 50 for
the backup light, CV 51 for FX5, and CV 52 for FX6.
