Function outputs
to use every CV between 257–511 several times and solves the
problem regarding CV shortage.
CV 32, which is also so-called "index register", determines the
meaning of CV 257–511 as well. If you change both the CVs 31
and 32, you simultaneously change the meaning and the values
of CV 257–511.
The meaning of all other CVs (1–256) is not influenced by the
value of the index register.
So should you ever change any of the CVs located in the range of
257–511, please make sure first that the index registers CV31 and
CV32 have the indicated values.
12.2.2. Function Mapping Chart
Please refer to the chart on page 40/41 to get an overview of the
possible options. Each function key can control more than one
output. There are different types of "outputs":
• Physical outputs: There are six real outputs on the LokSound Select
decoder. You can use them for lighting effects, smoke units or
couplers etc.
• Logical functions: Such as Dynamic "shunting mode", "start and
braking mode" and so on. These functions have a direct influence
on the decoders behavior.
• Sound functions: every triggered sound is assigned to a sound slot.
You are able to determine which of the sound slots (also several
simultaneously) should be triggered with the key.
• Modifier functions: Functions such as "Full brightness" are used in
combination with other functions.
Each output can also be controlled by more than one function key.
The keys are logical OR linked. This means that every key is able to
turn switch an output on, however, all function keys have to be
turned off, to deactivate the function.
To determine the correct CV values, go ahead as follows:
• Find the column in the chart corresponding to the function output
you wish to control.
• Identify the line corresponding to the function key you wish to use
for the selected output.
• Note the numbers at the intersection of the line and the column
you have selected.
• Program the Control CV listed left aside the noted number. Before
you write this CV, make sure the index registers CV31 and CV 32
have the value shown left aside the Control CV number.
For each function key, there are 3 control CVs. Each function key
exists twice, one for driving forwards and one for driving back-
wards. You sould set the unneeded CVs to zero to avoid an unex-
pected behaviour of the decoder.
Example: Switch AUX3 with F8.
You want to switch AUX3 with the F8 key, either when you drive
forwards and backwards. With the help of the ESU adapter board
51968 you added a light bulb to AUX3.
We can see from the chart, that CV 474 must be set to the value
16 to switch AUX3 via F8 to drive forward, CV31 = 16, CV32 = 2.
12.2.3. Allocation of Function Keys with the LokProgrammer
The LokSound V4.0 can, if used with the ESU LokProgrammer
and its new software version 4.1, be programmed more flexibly.
It is e.g. possible to use several function keys at the same time as
entry and thus allows to realise very specific wishes. However, it
is widely impossible to make certain entries with the digital com-
mand station only. We therefore recommend to use our LokPro-
grammer, if your expectations exceed to the possibilities described
in this manual.
Especially to operate the function keys F14 - F28 you have to use
the LokProgrammer.
