CV 4
BASELINE
BRAKING RATE
Description
Contains a value between 0 and 255 (0 - 0xFF) that sets the decoder’s braking rate:
bit 7 bit 0
D7 D6 D5 D4 D3 D2 D1 D0
D0-D7: Baseline Braking Rate
Braking rate may be computed as:
seconds/speed step = ———————————
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. The Dynamic Digital Exhaust sound effect will also be more preva-
lent with higher braking rates.
Default value: 0
