3.20 Flasher Effect

Flashing is actually a lighting effect just like all the others that are summarized in the CV's starting
with #125; for historical reasons though they are listed with their own CV's #117 and #118.

Default Description
Duty cycle for flasher function:
Tens digit = OFF time / Ones digit = ON time
(0 = 100msec, 1 = 200msec.....9 = 1 sec)
0
Example:
CV #117 = 55: Flashes evenly at 1 a second interval.
Selected function outputs will flash when turned ON.
Bit 0 - front headlights
Bit 1 - rear headlights
Bit 3 - ...FO2
Bit 2 - function output FO1,
Bit 4 - ...FO3,
Bit 5 - function output FO4.
Respective Bit = 0: No flasher
Respective Bit = 1: Output flashes when turned ON.
0
Bit 6 = 1: FO2 flashes inverse!
Bit 7 = 1: FO4 flashes inverse!
(for alternate flashing, i.e. wig-wag)
EXAMPLE:
CV #118 = 12: FO1 and FO2 are defined as flashers.
CV #118 = 168: Alternate flashing of FO2 and FO4, if
both are switched on.
Default Description
Bit 3 = 0: 12-Function mode
= 1: 8-Function mode
Bit 4 = 0: Pulse chain recognition OFF
4 = = 1: Pulse chain recognition ON (use with old
LGB systems)
00000100
...
(Bits 4 and
Bit 7 = 0: No pulse chain generation
7 = 0)
= 1: Generates pulse chain commands for
LGB sound modules.

3.22 Special Effects for Function Outputs

(US and other lighting effects, smoke generators, uncouplers etc.)
Special effects can be assigned to a total of 10 function outputs with
CV's #125, #126, #127 ... #132, #159, #160
for F0fr., F0rear.
The values for these special effect CV's contain the
6-Bit special effects code
actual
Bits 7 ... 2 = 000000xx No effect, except for direction = (0), 1, 2 (bidirectional, forward, reverse)
= 000001xx Mars light

= 000011xx Flashing headlight
= 000100xx Single pulse strobe
= 000101xx Double pulse strobe
= 000110xx Rotary beacon
= 000111xx Gyralite
= 001000xx Ditch light type 1, right
= 001001xx Ditch light type 1, left
= 001010xx Ditch light type 2, right
= 001011xx Ditch light type 2, left.
= 001100xx Uncoupler as defined in CV #115
automatic disengagement in CV #116
= 001101xx "Soft start" = slow dimming up of function output
= 001110xx Automatic stoplights for trams,
= 001111xx Function output turns itself off at speed >0
(i.e. turns off cab light when driving).
NOT for MX621 = 010000xx Function output turns itself off after 5 minutes
(i.e. to protect smoke generators form overheating).
-"- = 010001xx As above, but after 10 minutes
-"- = 010010xx Speed or load dependent smoke generation
for steam engines as per CV's #137 – #139 (i.e. pre-heating at
stand still, heavy smoke at high speed or high load). Smoke
turns off as per CV #353; function key has to be pressed to
reactivate smoke.
-"- = 010100xx Driving state-dependent smoke generation for diesel engines
as per CV's #137 – #139 (i.e. pre-heating at stand still, heavy
smoke during motor start-up sound and acceleration).
Synchronized control of fan connected to the fan output. Smoke
turns off as per CV #353; function key must be pressed to
reactivate smoke.
-"- = 100010xx Slow fade in/out of a function output; useful for various
lighting effects or motorized equipment (i.e. fan, snow blower).
Dimming time is set with CV's #190 and #19
-"- = 010111xx effect of flourescent lamp
-"- = 011000xx sparks with hevy braking
