Hi everybody: Perhaps this is an old question, but Soundtraxx doesn't have information about it in the webpage.
How I can set the VMax in a Tsunami decoder? The CV5 is not enabled in this decoders.
Thanks
You have to use a speed table instead.

My first consist attempt involved mating an HO Genesis tsunami equipped GP9 with a Kato RS-2 in which I installed a TCS motor only decoder. I ran into the issue of limited Tsunami CVs and got around it without having to deal with the upteen speed table settings. I think I had to slow the Tsunami using the forward (and reverse) trim setting, which allowed me to match the top speeds. I then set both locos running at mid speed step and adjusted the TCS mid-speed to match the tsunami GP9 (since the Tsunami lacked that feature). It may be necessary to adjust another Tsunami Cv to allow these adjustments. I'll find the old thread:

Much preferred, use Decoder Pro / JMRI, which I've since done. The tricky part can be getting the right doofers to connect your PC USB to your DCC system, which required two series serial gizmos in my case to my NCE PowerPro.

I agree with Paul about using forward and reverse trim (CV 66 and 95 I believe) I also use decoder pro (JMRI}. I usually set the trim at about 70 to 90 with a Linear curve (straight line) in the speed table window. When consisting I will start by matching the trim settings and then adjust the setting for trim on the second engine until it is close to the first. It's a lot easier with JMRI but remember to take out the momentum until you have them running together then put it back in.
