Resetting PK E7/8 to default with QSI

[rrinker]

 Not that I know of, but I'm a couple of revisions behind because frankly, I rarely use it for anything. They might have added that in newer versions that have DecoderPro 3 in them - this is a newly revamped cversion of the decoder programmign functionaility with a slightly different user interface. Any of the recent JMRI versions have this, and usually install an icon for it (so now you get 3 instead of 2 icons by default). There might be a reset in there, if people have put that info in the decoder definition. But liek I said, the thing to look for ont he menu is the Single CV Programmer, and then you cna issue any specific CV you want without pulling up the whole set of screens. It's under the Tools menu.

 Randy, is there a reset button on JMR control panel that I have missed?

 They won;t show as individual CVs on any of the settings pages. CV 49 and 50 are the index CVs that get used when you select various options fromt he menus (the whole point of using JMRI), but there is also the "Single CV Programmer" option that will let you pick a CV number and a value to put in it.

 Thanks for the answer Tom. Yea, I know I can do it with the SEB. I just found it odd that the CV's did not show. Guess I will hook up a section of track to the DB150 so there is no power going to the layout. Don't want to take the chances of my fat figures hitting the wrong button.

Ken,

I don't know why those CVs don't show up in Decoder Pro.  Even so, you could always place your E7/8 on the programming track and reset it manually that way:

• CV49=128
• CV50=255
• CV56=113

I have both an Atlas HH600/660 and Proto 2000 H10-44 switchers with QSI but I can't remember right off hand whether switching (1/2) speed is available.  If it is, it usually has to be set up manually by changing a CV first before it can be applied using either F6 or F7 on your throttle.

 I am wanting to rest my PK 2000 E7/8 with sound to default. I am using a PR 3 and decoder pro. I looked in the booklet and it says to change the following CV, 49, 50 and 56. But when I look at the CV's with decoder pro, it does not show the needed CV's? Any ideas why they are not showing up?

 Reason I want to rest to factory default is all on the sudden the engine top speed is around 34 MPH. Does the QSI decoder have a switch speed like Digitrax? One of the things I think I might have done was start the STUPID shut down mode. At one point engine motor would rev, but not move. When it started to move, it started running slower than normal.

 Thanks for the coming answers.
