LokProgrammer v 5.1.7 Released

ESU LokSound has released v5.1.7 software for the LokProgrammer. If you have Check for new updates selected you will be automatically notified of the update and given the option to download and install it. If you do not have this selected you can enable it by clicking on the Tools/Program Settings menu and checking Check for update on startup.

The abbreviated list of updates is as follows:

New Firmware 5.6.142 for LokSound 5 / LokPilot 5 family: new CV 122 Bit 4 in general output settings enforces the slave communication at AUX3, AUX4.

<Author's Note>

From ESU:

This is just important for ESU locomotives with an I/O expander chip on the mainboard. In all other cases, this bit does not need to be set at all.

It is just for compatibility with some older ESU locomotives (such as BR151) that have been equipped with LokSound V4.0 first, and that need to be upgraded to V5 decoder…

  • SignalPilot: new SBB L Main signal Halt/FB1/FB2/FB3/FB4/FB5/FB6/Hilfssignal N/Rot/Ersatzrot Signal.
  • Bugfixes: LokSound 5 / LokPilot 5 family: Physical output configuration showed mapped outputs in gray by mistake occasionally.
