CV 4
Baseline Braking Rate
Description
Contains a value between 0 and 255 that sets the decoder’s braking rate:
D0-D7: Baseline Braking Rate
Braking rate may be computed as:
seconds/speed step = CV 3 x 0.896÷Number of speed steps
When this CV is set to 0, the locomotive speed will respond nearly instantly
to decreases in the throttle setting. When set to 255, it will take approximately
3.8 minutes to brake to a stop from full speed.
It is recommended that this CV be set to a nonzero value when operating the
DSD in 14 or 28 speed step modes as the throttle will interpolate between
speed steps during braking to produce a smoother overall response.
Default value:
0
