The DCC Signal Quality Indicator (QoS = Quality of Service) is stored in CV135 as percentage (in the
range 0-100%). CV135 will store the minimum value of the QoS. To reset the value, 100 [%] is to be written
in CV136. After that call the save function via F5 On, F5 Off to get the latest QoS value.
The operating hours and minutes are stored in CV156, 157 and 158 as below:
The number of operating minutes is stored in CV156
The number of operating hours is the sum of the values stored in CV157 multiplied with 256 and the
value of CV158 (call the save function with F5 On, F5 Off before reading the values).
Maintenance period:
The decoder may retain the time stamp of the locomotive maintenance and may indicate if the set
number of hours since the last maintenance is exceeded.
This function can be activated and configured in CV154 (see The decoder CV table). The maintenance
interval is specified in hours in CV155. The factory default value is 40 hours. The value can be changed by
the user in the range 0-255. After resetting the decoder, the value of CV155 will be 40 (hours).
The last maintenance time is stored in CV159 and CV160. The value can be calculated as below:
Hours = (CV159 Value) + 256 * (CV160 Value)
