If you have an idea for a blog post here, let me know. If I can comment on it, I will or I'll see if someone else can and post it
Hi John - Re the Speedometer VMax display
ReplyDeleteHave you discovered where this shows up in LokProgrammer. So far, I have found "Maximum speed: [CV321.6:0 (CV32=0)]" on the Information Pane. Which on the surface doesn't seem to fully align with the ESU notes on the LokProgrammer update but seems related.
Thanks - John Geddes, Vancouver
John, I do not use RailCom nor have I ever used it so I wasn't really interested in this BUT it does show up on the Manual CV Input sheet in the location it is supposed to. This is similar (if I remember correctly) to what they did with the "tone control" when it first came out. They let you change it and told you which CVs needed to be changed to make them permanent. In the next firmware update they added them to a sheet. In this case they make the change in the CV but there is no place on other sheets to make the change (yet). Hope this helps.
ReplyDeleteJust found this, it appears this setting is for the ECOS system speedometer and that the decoders can transmit there speed via RailCom.
