Thanks for the work you put into this . Maybe Massoth could have got you the write their manual, there one is hard to understand in places especially on their Dimming values for function Outlets .
Thanks Again Frank
 
as a digital dummy, might i ask for an equally admirable prequel to this, namely, how to actually get to these cvs on the Massoth Navi, and thence change them.

For me an ideal step by step would use as an example changing the overall sound volume on a loco, from the moment you pick up the Navi and select that loco. After that I'd hope i could then play with other settings as outlined above.

Thanks in advance. Whoever does this ought to send it to Massoth and tell them they can and should put it on their website, in return for a donation to GSC :)

I actually did something similar a week or two back as a sort of beginners guide to starting use of a Navi. It got lost in the great Monday GSC Meltdown sadly and I never remembered who it was the answer to. Possibly you as one of your queries? Need to sit down and do it all again, probably with Pictures of a Navi to help explain things better.
 
I have done something similar for Zimo on my site... a page on familiarization with the hardware:

Getting started the first time

Greg Elmassian web site on large scale trains and garden railroads, cigars, and computers
elmassian.com elmassian.com


then a "cheat sheet" for common tasks.

Greg's Zimo system cheat sheet

Greg Elmassian web site on large scale trains and garden railroads, cigars, and computers
elmassian.com elmassian.com

Needs a lot more info, and feedback from new users about the issues they had getting started.

Definitely not me, I have been meaning to ask this for ages but just got round to it. I realise it will be a lot of work for somebody, but hopefully of benefit to a fair few people from time to time.

CV7 - Decoder reset.

Don't do it.
OK, if you have really buggered things up and you cant get anything to work, it might help.
I have never had the need to do a reset. Not all resets work - I have heard of a few (but not at all many), horror stories of decoders saying their last good byes.

But if you must, and I do know people who seem to do them all the time.

Consult your documentation - these details are the ones that seem to change from month to month.
My XLS book says there are 5 options and then lists 6!

Value 55 - reset basic settings
Value 66 - reset motor setting
Value 77 - reset lights and functions
Value 111 - reset CVs 131 to 167
Value 122 - reset Cvs 171 to 199
Value 133 - reset CVs 200 to 212

as I said, I have never done one, so, as far as I am concerned, your on your own matey.

Hi, what about value CV7=16? What is this? Frank from Massoth a while ago asked me to do this, but didn't explain what it was.
