Example: Adjusting Motorman Omura Event Probability
Motorman Omura performs his various tasks after two minutes of the locomotive being stopped,
when the general service function (F18 by default) is turned off. Every 10-30 seconds,
Motorman Omura might open and close the cab door, chat on the radio or turn on the AC. The
probability that each of these sound effects occur is determined by CVs 201-208. Entering
values from 0 to 255 into CVs 201-208 will adjust the probability of each task from 0% (disabled)
to 100%. Follow the steps below to configure Motorman Omura probability CVs:
1. To allow Motorman Omura to enter and exit the cab when the locomotive is stopped,
enter a value of 100 into CV 201.
2. To allow Motorman Omura to hear more cab chatter on the radio, enter a value of 130
into CV 205.
3. To allow the air conditioner to turn on often enough to keep the crew from overheating,
enter a value of 150 into CV 207.
Sound Configuration Example
The following example details using sound control CVs to customize electric sound effects to fit
your operating preferences.
Example: Modifying Electric Sound Effects
This example shows you how to customize sound effects, such as the airhorn, bell, air
compressor, coupler, all aboard/coach doors, and poppet valve, with the following sound control
CVs:
CV 112: Sound Configuration 1
CV 124: Air Compressor Select
CV 114: Engine Exhaust Control
CV 126: Coupler Select
CV 120: Airhorn Select
CV 195: Coach Door Count
CV 121: Auxiliary Airhorn Select
CV 200: Poppet Valve Release Rate
CV 122: Bell Select
1. You can select a different primary airhorn for the long airhorn function (F2 by default)
with CV 120. Entering a value from 0 to 41 into CV 120 will select airhorns 1-42. To
select airhorn 15, enter a value of 14 into CV 120.
2. You can use CV 121 to enable the alternate airhorn. Entering a value from 1 to 42 into
CV 121 will select airhorns 1-42 for the alternate airhorn. When an alternate airhorn is
selected in CV 121, turning on the short airhorn function (F3 by default), and then turning
on the long airhorn function (F2 by default) will issue the alternate airhorn selection. To
select airhorn 1 for the alternate airhorn, enter a value of 1 into CV 121.
3. You can select different bells and bell ring rates, and enable the grade-crossing bell with
CV 122. Most bell selections (excluding bell 10, as the Graham White Electronic Bell
only has one ring rate) have four ring rate options: slow, medium-slow, medium-fast, and
fast. Entering values from 0 to 44 into CV 122 will select each ring rate for bells 1-13.
Adding a value of 128 to CV 122 will enable the bell selection to ring during the crossing
hold countdown, after Grade-Crossing Logic is activated. Refer to “Configuring Lighting
Outputs” for more information about Grade-Crossing Logic.
a. A value of 31 will select bell 8 with a fast ring rate for the bell function (F1 by
default), and a value of 128 will enable bell 8 for the grade-crossing bell. To
determine the value of CV 122, add the values together:
31 + 128 = 159
