7.2.1 Programming On The Mainline:
Operations (OPS) Mode Programming lets you program CVs in DCC loco-
motives equipped with extended packet format decoders while they are running
on the mainline. A typical use for OPS mode programming would be to change
the acceleration rate (CV03) or the deceleration rate (CV04) of your locomo-
tives to simulate the weight and braking capability of the train to compensate
for changing the number of cars or power units on a train.
Your DCS52 can use OPS Mode Programming to change the CV value in ANY
CV, including 2 digit and 4 digit addresses, but some decoders may not accept
changing these CVs in Operations mode.
