Primary CVs
CV 4
Baseline Deceleration Rate
Description
CV 4 contains a value from 0 to 255 that sets the decoder’s deceleration rate.
D0-D7:
Baseline Deceleration Rate
Additional Information
The deceleration rate may be calculated as:
Seconds/Speed Step = CV 3 x 0.896 ÷ Number of Speed Steps
When CV 4 is set to 0, the speed-related sounds will respond almost instantly
to decreases in throttle setting. When set to 255, it will take the decoder
sounds approximately 3.8 minutes to come to a full stop from top speed.
It is recommended that CV 4 be set to a non-zero value when operating the
decoder in 14 or 28 speed-step mode, as the throttle will interpolate between
speed steps during braking to produce a smoother overall response.
Note: For this CV, the value in a SoundCar decoder should match the value
in a Tsunami-equipped locomotive when in a consist.
Default Value: 0
