You can access all properties of ESU decoders with the LokPro- its locomotive address, for instance: grammer. You even can erase the sound and download a new “Locomotive number 50, write the value 7 into CV 3!“.
Both the primary and the extended address may be changed at formance. any time using service mode (on the programming track). Some DCC systems (such as ESU ECoS, ESU Navigator) will allow 3.4.2.3. Shunting mode the decoder address to be modified using Programming On The The shunting mode reduces the speed to about 50%.
Decoder settings 3.4.3.1. DC Brake Mode Before you change any of the volume control CVs, please make sure that the CV 31 is set to 16 and CV 32 = 1! In order to activate the DC brake mode you must set bit 3 in CV 27.
Appendix 5. Appendix 5.1.2. Read out addess If you wish to read out the address of a locomotive please read the values of CV 17 and CV 18 one after another and proceed 5.1. Programming Long Addresses then in reverse order: As described in chapter 3.3.1.2.
