LMSFan72 Posted November 14, 2017 Share Posted November 14, 2017 Hi, I thought I would have a look-see on my ESU Loksound V4 to work out how the project has been setup. As I am running RM Pro I thought I'd simply read the CVs and then print them all out so I could study it rather than have to read each one individually and write them down..... oh well, it didn't go so well! The Loksound chip uses indexed CVs to determine the function of the CV values above CV257. OK, I thought, if I write the index values appropriately each time I could then read the CVs and map them out. Being able to print them out would be fantastic..... However, RM doesn't seem to read any values above 257 for that chip (I am running the latest version of RM) even though it is supposed to (I have the range set 1 - 999). If I write a different value to CV31 and 32 (the index registers that determine CV257 and above) I don't get any different answers. Then, it appears that the print CVs list function only goes to CV254 anyway... I wonder if anybody else has tried this, and, what their experienc was?!

96RAF Posted November 14, 2017 Share Posted November 14, 2017 Andy RM latest version is supposed to read CVs 1-1023 according to the August release notes. I would flag it to HRMS as a fault against that decoder type. Rob Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GWR Greg Posted November 14, 2017 Share Posted November 14, 2017 No problem with a Zimo sound decoder read and printed way past cv254. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LMSFan72 Posted November 15, 2017 Author Share Posted November 15, 2017 Thanks Rob; good info Greg. I have done as Rob suggests and contacted HRMS. Having looked at the ESU manual I suspect they just used the CV table at the back to set the decoder profile which makes no mention of the indexed CVs rather than working through everything in the 88 page manual. We will see...! Thanks, Andy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
96RAF Posted November 15, 2017 Share Posted November 15, 2017 I was thinking more of comparing the individual loco sheets for basic sound functions Andy, rather than plowing through the full v4.0 manual. These leaflets are more akin to TTS level instructions.Here is a grab of part of the Duchess leaflet./media/tinymce_upload/f54e5cc26cc5fc1bfe510a4acdcd713c.PNG Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LMSFan72 Posted November 18, 2017 Author Share Posted November 18, 2017 Well, support have confirmed that they haven't profiled the Loksouind to include CVs above 254 - I have sent them the full manual so fingers crossed...! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
