 Management of the vehicles
Standard format
At delivery, the DCC format with 28 speed steps is set as standard, i.e. this protocol is applied
to the track by default. Vehicle decoders with the standard format can therefore be controlled
directly, vehicle decoders with different formats only if they have been created in the
locomotive list beforehand. The setting of the standard format is taken over as the default
setting in the locomotive list.

Locomotive list
The database with your vehicles (in short "locomotive list") is a central part of your digital
control. Assigning names to your vehicles is not mandatory, but can be very helpful if the
decoder address has been forgotten or accidentally changed.
Function icons
Various icons are stored, which illustrate the numerous possible functions of vehicle decoders
(lights, couplers, smoke generators, sounds). Each icon is displayed in two versions, showing
the function in switched on or switched off state. You can replace the standard icons with your
own.
Notes
As soon as the m3 signal is
present on the track (e.g. after
accidentally entering a locomotive
address >10,239), mfx vehicle
decoders react exclusively to m3
commands and no longer to MM
and/or DCC commands.
Assignment of the m3 address:
→ System / Vehicles / m3
→ Operation / Programming / m3
