4) Loss of carrier: A walking “L” occurs when the DCS51 is configured as a
booster and does not see another command station on the layout, or when
LocoNet is disconnected from the unit in this condition. Check the LocoNet
connections. Test LocoNet Cables with the LT1 tester. Be sure that a command
station is connected to the layout.
23.0 Decoder Speed Step Settings
Within the DCC format there are several ways decoders and command stations
communicate speed step information. All of your decoders and your command
station must be “speaking the same dialect of the DCC language” for every-
thing to work smoothly. Digitrax DCS51 is set at the factory to send 128 speed
step mode information because the 128 speed step format provides for the best
speed control available. All Digitrax decoders are 128 speed step decoders.
Some non-Digitrax decoders use other speed step formats and won’t respond to
your DCS51 sending 128 speed step information.
If you have a non-Digitrax decoder that can’t run in 128 speed step mode, you
can change the number of speed steps the DCS51 sends to that decoder so that
you will be able to control the decoder. This is called
status editing the
decoder. When you status edit a decoder, the DCS51 will send a different for-
mat to that decoder without affecting the 128 speed step operation of the
Digitrax and other 128 speed step decoders on the layout.
NOTE: Status editing does not reprogram anything in the decoder. It only
changes the messages that are sent to the decoder by the command station.
