Intellibox Basic

The programming menu will show the following display:
Input the number of the desired CV (1-1024) in the left-hand column
and its value (0-255) in the right-hand column.
Programming and reading procedures: follow what was described in
section 8.4.1 about register programming.
8.4.5 Mainline Programming
DCC decoders can be programmed on the mainline with the menu
“Mainline-Prog.“. During the running of the layout for example
corrections to the inertia behaviour of individual vehicles can easily
be made.
The decoders are programmed in accordance with the CV
programming method. Reading of the decoders on the mainline is
not possible.
Decoders can be programmed on the mainline only if the vehicle is
stopped. The relevant locomotive must therefore be set to speed
“0”.
Initially the programming menu will show:
Input the decoder’s address. After confirming the address with the
E key, the display will change to:
Input the number of the desired CV (1-1024) in the left-hand column
and its value (0-255) in the right-hand column.
Programming follows the procedure described in section 8.4.1 for
register programming.
8.4.6 Programming long addresses
This menu provides a simple method to program DCC decoders
with long addresses (14 bit, > 127).
Long addresses are stored in two CVs of the decoder (CV 17 and
CV 18). To enable the use of long addresses, bit 5 of CV 29 should
be set to 1.
In practice, you should be able to do this type of programming using
the normal CV direct programming procedure (refer to sections
8.4.2 and 8.4.3). If you choose to use the “Programming long
addresses” menu instead, the Intellibox will automatically compute
the correct CV values and write to or read from the necessary CV.
The “Long addresses” menu includes the two sub-menus “Read”
and “Program”.
