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
