CVs with decimals? (CV1.407)

[Desert Rose]

Recently I have been installing SoundTraxx 885840 Tsunami 2 TSU-BH1 2 Amp Digital Sound Drop in Decoders in my Bachmann Diesels and I noticed some CVs with decimals (CV1.407). 

The CVs with decimal numbers are not decimal numbers, they are Index designators.



The latest Decoders have so much information SoundTraxx added three index layers to store the additional CVs.

To access indexed CVs, CV31 Index 1 =16 (Read Only), *CV32 Index 2 = (), must be in front of any CV with a 1.,2. or 3. index designator in front of the CV number.
*CV32 Index 2 = 1 (Indexed CV page1)
*CV32 Index 2 = 2 (Indexed CV page 2)
*CV32 Index 2 = 3 (Indexed CV page 3)

     

EXAMPLES

All Indexed CVs in Indexed CV Page 1 has a 1. In front of the CV number.
CV1.407 Automatic Whistle Signal Forward
CV1.408 Automatic Whistle Signal Reverse

CV1.407 Automatic Whistle Signal Forward =1
CV1.408 Automatic Whistle Signal Reverse = 2

To Activate the Automatic Signals:
Drop the 1. In front of CV numbers when programing.
Program in order.
CV 31= 16
CV32 = 1
CV407 = 1
