The dispatched address can be a single locomotive address, either two digit or
four digit, or a consist that was set up by the DT400. The TOP locomotive in a
consist or MU can be dispatched to transfer control of the entire consist to
another throttle.
Radio and infrared throttles must be plugged in to LocoNet to dispatch loco
addresses.

13.0 Programming and Configuration
Your DCC Decoders have many different configuration variables (CVs for
short) that let you set up a different set of characteristics for each decoder
installed in each locomotive.
Each of these CVs controls a characteristic of the decoder. See your decoder
manual for a list of the most commonly used CVs and their meanings. Each
decoder comes pre-programmed from the factory with the default settings out-
lined in your decoder manual. You can change your decoder’s performance
characteristics by changing the CV values entered in the CVs you want to
change. Each of these CVs can be set up when your command station is in the
programming mode or by using the Digitrax PR-1 Computer Programmer &
your PC. The CVs are remembered in the decoder until it is reprogrammed to
with a different CV value. Please refer to your Digitrax Mobile Decoder
Manual for a complete listing of the CVs supported by each decoder.
It is a good idea to run your decoders with the default CV values that come pre
programmed in your decoders until you get used to the system & what it can
do for you. Once you are comfortable with running the trains, then you can
begin customizing loco characteristics.
