ZIMO decoders contain a microprocessor with appropriate software. The software version can be read out from CV #7 and #65.
The current version may not yet capable of all the functions mentioned in this manual. As with other computer programs, it is also
not possible for the manufacturer to thoroughly test this software with all the possible applications. Installing new software ver-
sions later can add new functions or correct recognized errors. SW updates can be done by the end user for all ZIMO decoders
since production date October 2004, s
ee chapter “Software Update”! Software updates are available at no charge if performed by
the end user (except for the purchase of a programming module); Updates and/or upgrades performed by ZIMO are not consid-
ered a warranty issue and are at the expense of the customer. The warranty covers hardware damage exclusively, provided such
damage is not caused by the user or other equipment connected to the decoder. For update versions, see
