[. . . ] LH100 Dispatcher's Throttle 1 Designed for use on all XpressNet systems LH100 Keypad based Dispatcher's Throttle Version 3. 0 art. 21100 December 2002 LH100 Dispatcher's Throttle 2 Welcome! Congratulations for purchasing the Digital plus by Lenz® hand held controller LH100. We wish you much enjoyment with using this model train control system. The LH100 hand held controller is the universal data input device in the Digital plus by Lenz ® system. [. . . ] If you enter a smaller or larger value, then you will again be prompted to enter a feedback encoder address. 13 Reading/Changing decoder settings In this large section you will find out: what "programming" really is in Digital plus by Lenz ® what settings can be changed by programming what different methods can be used for programming how you proceed when programming 13. 1 What is programming and what purpose does it serve? Each decoder has a number of settings that can be changed to customize that decoder to its particular use. This can be a locomotive decoder, an accessory decoder or a feedback encoder. Each of these settings is stored in a memory location inside the decoder. These memory locations are similar to index cards in a box. Each decoder has such an "index box". Each "card" has one setting of the locomotive decoder written on it, for instance on "card" number 1 the locomotive address, on "card" number 3 the acceleration delay. In other words, one card for each decoder setting. Depending on the number of settings available in this decoder the "index box" is sometimes bigger, sometimes smaller. On each "card" is a numeric value, the general value range of such a card is 0 to 255. Since you can change the values on these index cards again and again, they are also referred to as variables. Using these variables, settings are determined, configured, and hence in the US we developed the term "Configuration Variable" (CV). From now on we will not refer to index cards any longer, but use the correct term CV. Using CVs the settings or the behavior of a 42 SET-01 Information 43 decoder are described. LH100 Dispatcher's Throttle 44 Which CV contains which information is standardized. For instance CV1 is always the address of a locomotive, CV3 is always the acceleration and CV4 is always the deceleration delay. A description of the available CVs and their settings is described in the Digital plus by Lenz ® locomotive decoder manuals. This information can be downloaded in the internet from www. lenz. com, obtained from your model railroad retailer, or by sending a stamped, self-addressed envelope to Lenz Elektronik. Not all the possible values from the range 0 to 255 are always valid. For the setting "basic address", CV1 only the value from 1 to 99 is valid. For CV53 (dimming the function outputs) on the other hand, the full range of 0 to 255 is valid. There are also "index cards" that contain the entered number in another way of writing to make the use easier. This other way of writing is called binary writing. Here the numeric value is not written using the digits 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, but using only the numbers 0 and 1. [. . . ] You can only control a locomotive in this condition with the MU address. When you see "m" and the locomotive address, press the `-' key and the MU address will be displayed. When you program a new address, the MU address in CV19 is erased. Programming and reading out decoder settings on the programming track When reading an address in menu DIR, the address is preceded by a large "M". In addition to its own address, the locomotive decoder also has a multiunit address stored in CV19. [. . . ]
