CV62 also controls how fast/slow the programmed effect operates. This lets

you adjust the flashing rate of the lights.

The settings in CV62 affect all function outputs on the decoder.

The default value for CV62 is 00 for no keep alive brightness and fastest func-

tion operation rate.

Use our online CV calculator at www.digitrax.com/support/cv to compute the

CV values for your specific situation. Or use the following table to determine

the appropriate CV value for CV62. Simply choose a value for each character-

istic and add them together to get the CV value to program into CV62.

NOTE: Lamps produce better effects. LEDs cannot be set to go completely

off and are not able to simulate lighting effects as well as incandescent lamps.

Characteristic Value to add

Keep Alive Brightness/Base-

line O Voltage for incan-

descent lamps

0-15

0=Lamp goes completely o

15=maximum keep alive brightness

For LEDs this should be 0

Rate of eect programmed 0, 16, 32, 48, 64, 80, 96, 112, 160, 176, 192,

208, 224, 240

0=fast rate

240=slowest rate

Start with 64 and adjust from there

9.6 Ditch Light Hold Over Time CV63

If you are using the ditch light effect in conjunction with F2, CV63 lets you

set up a hold over time to control how long the ditch lights continue to blink

after F2 turned off by releasing the key on the throttle. Remember that F2 is a

momentary key on most Digitrax throttles that will keep Function 2 on as long

as you hold the key down and then turn Function 2 off when you release the

key. This allows the ditch lights to be on steady during regular operation and to

begin alternate flashing when F2 (usually the horn) is activated and to continue

flashing alternately for a predetermined length of time after F2 is released; just

like the prototype. A value of 00 yields no hold over time, a value of 40 yields

a realistic time of approximately 3 seconds. A value of 255 yields approximate-

ly 20 seconds hold over time. Use our online CV calculator at www.digitrax.
