Hi Keith, Having used both Decoder Pro and QSI CV Manager, I can assure you they both work essentially the same way. The only caveat is the Titan (version 9) in Decoder Pro. Decoder Pro only has label

CV 64 is the query CV. To query the value of any CV (including index CVs) simply Program On Main --> CV64 = X , where X is whatever CV you want to query. e.g. Want to know what the value of CV 4 is? P

Hi Greg, Thanks for the information. Does the ASR work with diesel sound files? I had been pretty diligent about downloading each QCVM file, when released. I don't recall, or have record, of a version

Hi Greg, Thanks for your reply! I followed your directions, but the information leaves me asking more questions. ASR?? QCVM version 3.0.0.0. to 3.0.0.18 (allowing 'Engineering' options)? I can't find

Hi Greg, Would you please give more information regarding 'visually change the waveform...' ? Do you have a link to the specific information. I bookmarked your site but did not find any related page.

Hi Greg, The section on page 360(?) describes setting the initial CV2 in multiple steps, including STC and RTC. Perhaps, that can be a bit complicated for some. Perhaps I used a poor choice of words.

Steve, Follow up: Regulated Throttle Control (RTC) can be very important in setting up starting speed. It can be complicated. Feel free to ask questions to this group. Best regards, KJ

Hi Steve, My best advice is to read the QSI manual, specifically referencing the Back Electro Motive Force (BEMF) section. In it you will find a great deal of information about setting up the decoder

Hi Joó, Personally, I try to imitate the inertia of the full scale. With this in mind, I have found the following settings to be realistic. CV 23 = 40* - Set and forget - Acceleration adjuster, simula

Ed, If you have JMRI Decoder Pro installed you may be able to detect the active light port assignment. It may make things easier. Best regards, KJ

Hi Ed, Unfortunately, unlike the Titan series of decoders, the Revolution series requires a full sound-set installation (requiring the Quantum Programmer) to enable or change any light port. Unless th

Hi Joó, I'm glad it worked for you. I'm curious, for what the 4 LEDs are used? e.g. number boards, step lights, etc. The reason I ask is regarding a previous comment I made about a series/parallel cir

Hi Joó, If you find the SMD easier to access and of the same circuit then use it. After reading Greg's post (immediately above your last post) I suggest using the CL2 in this circuit. If the voltage i

No! Not that SMD capacitor. The capacitor I'm referring to is on the other side of the board. Trace the printed circuit from the + pin of the rectifier to a large electrolytic capacitor (this is marke

Hi Joó, Yes, you have found the + side of the full wave bridge rectifier. Flip the board over and you will notice the trace that goes to a large electrolytic capacitor. You will find the capacitor con

Hi Joó, I just checked the document accompanying the decoder. The Titan FX - DO does not have a user accessed +12 Volt connection. All light port connectors are labelled as having +5V common. I know t

Hello, I'm no expert and the following is pure speculation, but did you test the actual voltage of the +V? The Titan (and Revolution) series of decoders have both a regulated +5Volt (usually a red wit

Ed and Chris, Thank you both for the information and pics. This is helpful (though HO gives me even less room to work). Still, this is good information. Ed, I look forward to your photos. Chris' photo

Ed, I'm curious about how you port the sound out of the smokebox. Do you have port(s) drilled out in the smokestack and/or down the cylinder chest? I have a brass HO consolidation that I'm engineering

Hi Chris, Impressive! I've always liked the C&O steam motive power and your model is no exception. Very nice! I note that the chuff sound seemed to come from the smokebox area. What type of speakers d
