[quote]QUOTE: Originally posted by cacole Are you sure the Atlas decoder will accept alternate speed tables? If it will, here is an alternate speed table from a North Coast Engineering decoder booklet. I am listing the CV number and decimal value for each speed step. 67=2; 68=5; 69=7; 70=12; 71=16; 72=21; 73=26; 74=30; 75=35; 76=40; 77=47; 78=51; 79=58; 80=65; 81=72; 82=79; 83=84; 84=93; 85=100; 86=112; 87=121; 88=135; 89=147; 90=161; 91=177; 92=196; 93=219; 94=255 [/quote] Yes, the Atlas decoders have the 28-step speed table. What they don't have is CV-5 and CV-6 for quick tuning of the mid and high range. The Digitrax decoder manuals have recommended CV-5/6 settings for various types of engines, such as a switcher, local freight and mainline engine. I'm trying to sort-of duplicate that in the Atlas. That table is pretty close to the Atlas default, but I'll give it a go and see how it works. Mainly, I'm just playing with programming, as this is my very first DCC-equipped loco. I've got some Digitrax decoders on the way for my older engines, so I'm using this one to learn on. Thank goodness for master reset CVs. [:D]
