Adapting the Driving Characteristics
10.6.1. Linear Braking Distance
CV253 = 0: The loco starts immediately to stop linearly after receiv-
ing the braking command. The brake effort is determined by the
decoder so that, independent from the starting speed, the loco
will stopp after reaching the way defined in CV254. The dashed
line in Figure 17 shows the relation.
10.6.2. Constant Linear Braking Distance
CV253 > 0: Is the value in CV253 higher than 0, the locomotive
continues to drive ahead for some time when entering the brak-
ing section to finally brake within the braking time indicated in
CV253. The effort of the braking effect is now constant as set in
CV253. The decoder changes the brake timing accordingly so that
the locomotive stopps at the correct position in the end. Figure 17
shows this quite clearly.
Train A) slows down linearly: Immediately after reaching the braking
point, it slows down linearly and stops at the stop point.

Train B) is fast, continues to drive only
a short distance to the defined braking
point, slows down and stops at the
braking point.
Train C) also
continues to travel to
the defined braking
point, slows down
and stops at the
same point.

10.7. Settings for Analogue Operation
You can adjust the acceleration and maximum speed of the Lok-
Sound separately for analogue DC and AC mode. Thus, you can
adapt the speed of your locomotive also to analogue operations.
You will have to determine suitable values by trial and error since
they depend on the type of transformer (throttle) and the drive
system of your locomotive.
Please note that load compensation is always active ex works,
even in analogue mode. This gives you smooth control even at
very low speeds.
10.7.1. DC Analogue Operation
LokSound V4.0
LokSound micro V4.0
In DC analogue mode you can adjust the starting speed with CV
125 and the maximum speed with CV126.
10.7.2. AC Analogue Operation
LokSound V4.0
In AC analogue mode you can adjust the starting speed with CV
127 and the maximum speed with CV 128.
