function outputs

12 function outputs
12.1. Function outputs
LokSound decoders have up to 22 physical function outputs. "Light Front" and
"Lights" are used lighting for loading, the remaining are available for free. In
addition, logical functions such exist "shunting", "Sound On / Off", "Brake
function 1", etc.
The function outputs can be switched using the function keys of the digital center
( "F-keys").
Usually F0 here refers to the light button, while the other keys are numbered
from F1 upwards.

12.2. Function key assignment (mapping function)

The outputs can the available function keys are freely assigned. ESU used in a
LokSound 5 again extended "Mapping", with the advantage that each output can
be assigned without limitation, each key. Furthermore, the allocation may be
forward and backward ride different. Furthermore, it is possible to connect
multiple outputs simultaneously with a key. Unfortunately, this flexibility requires
a large number of CVs. The problem is that the NMRA does not have enough
provided CVs. The solution to this problem is called "Index CV access".
12.2.1. Index CV access
The CVs in the range 257 to 511 have a special meaning: they are "indexed".
This means that the importance of these CVs can change depending on the
value of a so-called "index registers". By changing the value in the index register
to automatically shift the values ​ ​ a nd the importance of indexed CVs. In this way
each CV in the range of 257 may - be used several times 511 and solves the
lack of CVs. The CVs 31 and 32 are so-called index registers which the
importance of CVs 257 - Define 511th With every change of CV31 and CV 32 to
change the meaning and the value of CV 257-511 with the same.
68
The meaning of the other CVs (1 - 256) is independent of the value of the index
register.
So before you change the value of CV in the range from 257, if you have entered
note that the index register CV 31 and CV 32 contain the specified values.
Currently CV must always contain the value 16 31st CV 32 can assume the
values ​ ​ 0 , 1, 2, 3 or. 4
12.2.2. Function Mapping
The function key assignment of the LokSound decoder 5 is very powerful and flexible
at the same time:
• Each function key can switch any number of outputs simultaneously.
•
An output can be switched with a plurality of function keys advertising the.
• Function keys can be linked (for example, overall F3 and F5 suppressed).
• Function keys can be inverted (eg NOT F8 overall suppressed).
• In addition to the buttons F0 to F31 and the involvement of the driving direction or
speed (locomotive runs / stops) possible.
• The inclusion of up to 5 external sensors. While on the one hand, many model
railroaders need exactly these functions to use all your engines optimally, the
use of verifying is the function key assignment due to the many necessary union
CVs the "Freestyle", the decoder programming. Take some time to understand
the concept behind it, before making any changes to the even decoder. All the
desired actions to be perform the decoder are internally arranged in a table.
Therefore, we consider initially the basic structure as is shown in the table on the
next page. There are visible two main groups:
• In the condition block is held, what has to happen that an issue occurs.
Conditions are, for example, "F3" or "locomotive is forward, and F8 is turned"
