on multiple pressing of the F1 button: e.g. if you

press F1 three times this will activate function F3.

Therefore it is essential to “tell” the decoder, that it

has to count how often the F1 button makes contact.

By setting bit 6 in CV 49 the LokSoundXL decoder will

support the LGB operating mode.

Let’s assume you want to use LGB MZS and activate

load control as well. Simply enter the value 65 in CV

49.

5. Adjusting decoder parameters

Chapter 5 provides information on how to change

the settings of LokSoundXL decoders. Please take your

time to read and understand the occasionally

somewhat complex explanations.

After the introduction into the world of decoder

parameters (called CVs) in chapter 5.1, you will find all

you want to know about which CVs have effect the

properties of LokSoundXL decoders in chapter 5.2.

Paragraph 5.3 explains how CVs may be set with various

DCC and also the Märklin® command stations.

You find a complete list of all CVs in chapter 7.1.

5.1 CVs of the LokSoundXL decoders

LokSoundXL decoders are compatible with the NRMA

/ DCC standard. That means, that all parameters which

change the properties of LokSoundXL decoders, are

stored in so called CVs (Configuration Variables).

LokSoundXL decoders support 121 variables. This large

number of CVs shows the multitude of possibilities

available with LokSoundXL decoders

To manage this large number of settings we

recommend the use of our LokProgrammer. With

LokProgrammer all CVs may be programmed with

ease and comfort by using a PC. Please note that CVs

that are not programmed properly could impede the

performance of the decoder.

All CVs may be programmed without the

LokProgrammer by using any DCC system that is

NMRA/DCC compatible. Märklin® 6021 is also

suitable. Chapter 5.3 explains, how it works.

In each CV values from 0 to 255 may be stored. The

properties of the decoder change depending on the

stored value.

If you have a look at the list of CVs in chapter 7.1 you

will notice that most CVs have number values. CV 1

for example contains the locomotive address. This may

vary between 1 and 127 (see range of values). The

factory setting is 3. Please note that not all CVs have

factory settings. Some CV values are different for

different sound effects.

Other CVs represent storage locations that manage

various functions at the same time (mostly turn on

and off). CVs 29 and 49 are good examples: for these

CVs the value has to be calculated individually,

depending on the setting you want:

First you decide which option should to be turned on

or off. In the column "value" you find 2 numbers for

each option. The value 0 indicates the option is switched

off, otherwise the value may range from 1 to 32. Add

all values of the individual options to get the value of

the CV.

Example 1Example 1

Example 1: Let's assume, you want to use the

Intellibox DCC with 128 speed steps and analogue

recognition should be active (because you want to

control some locos analogue mode). All other

options are turned off. CV 29 shows the value 6 (0

+2+4+0=6).

Example2Example2

Example2: You want to activate the Märklin®

brake module, Back EMF should be activated. You

setCV49to3(1+2+0=3).Werecommend to

deactivate analogue recognition in CV 49, since the

Märklin® brake track and analogue operation should

not be activated at the same time. You set CV 29 to

0(0+0+0+0)=0.

Example3Example3

Example3: You want to turn the volume of the

decoder down. Set CV 63 to 1.

5.2 Important settings of LokSoundXL

Details of the most important CVs may be found in

chapter 5.2. Please study these instructions carefully

before you do any program changes. Careful

deliberation will help you to find the optimal settings

to achieve the desired effects with your LokSoundXL

decoder.

5.2.1 Back EMF control (load control)

The LokSoundXL decoders utilize second generation

load control which, when using DC motors, assures

constant speed independent of the actual load. Load
