Lenz Silver MP Programming
Posted by jaytrix on Wednesday, April 16, 2008 10:13 AM
I currently have two engines installed with a Lenz Silver MP decoder.  The first is an Athearn SD60 and the second is an Atlas GP38.  the issue that I am having is that the GP38 runs great, it creeps along using my Digitrax Super Empire control system.  But the SD60 at takes off like a rabbit as soon as the speed is brought up 1 from zero.  I do realize both engines are different but i am trying to figure out how to bring the speed down on the SD60.  Thanks!

David,

Thanks for the suggestions.  I will give them a try once I am home this evening.

Thanks for the information.  That is exactly what I did, I used Decoder Pro last night (what a life saver) and checked the differences.  I dont know how I continued to miss it earlier but my CV2 was way out of wack.  I reset the decoder back to factory settings because who knows what other settings I messed with.  the engine is running like a champ now and after tweaking it a little more I am back to a happy camper.  Thanks again!
