System Parameters
Protocol formats / booster adjustments
Introduction
Define basic set-up adjustments of your Comman-
der in the under-menu "system parameters" of the
system setup-menu. These adjustments normally
have to be programmed only once when setting up
the operating characteristics of the Commander.
The menu "Protocol formats / booster adjustments"
enables you to edit the following parameters:
► Automatic locomotive identification
► Predefinition of the digital system
► Track voltage
► Maximum current
► Mode of compatibility
► Additional functions of the locomotive
Procedure
Calling up the menu:
► Call up the menu "Protocol formats / booster ad-
justments" by System ► System Parameters
► Protocol- / Booster adjustments.
The menu displayed down below will open up. You
can activate respectively deactivate adjustments by
pushing the indicator lamp next to the text.
Automatic locomotive identification
This feature enables you to define if the Comman-
der should also search for locomotives with the di-
gital system Märklin-Motorola when executing the
automatic locomotive identification of an engine
standing on the programming track. The query pro-
cess for Märklin- Motorola will take longer than the
Commander Reference Manual version 1.0 from 2009-12-03, page 95
process for DCC, due to the system. In case you
exclusively want to operate with the DCC-format it
is advisable to deactivate the identification of Mär-
klin-Motorola locos (indicator illumination grey).
Predefinition of the digital system
Determine which digital system is to be active
when the Commander boots up. In case of a hybrid
exploitation of both protocols, the Commander will
activate the respective alternate format if a corres-
ponding control command is entered (e. g. the cal-
ling up of a Märklin-Motorola locomotive).
Track voltage
Adjust the output voltage according to the scale of
your layout by using the arrow keys. Experience
values show that N-scale layouts can also be ope-
rated with 18 volt.
Maximum current
Adjust the maximum power output of the main track
output using the arrow keys.
Mode of compatibility
Activate this mode in case you use the Märklin-
Booster 6015.
Additional functions of the locomotive
The Commander will transmit no commands for ad-
ditional functions of the loco to the rail in case the
option "suppress additional functions" (indicator il-
lumination red) is activated. This option is useful for
configuring some turnout- / signal modules that can
also be programmed on additional loco functions.
Save the adjustments by the „Save"-symbol.
