• Adjust the maximum speed of the decoder in a way, that the desired maximum scale
speed of the locomotive corresponds to the highest speed step of the decoder. If, for
example, your decoder has 28 speed steps and the maximum scale speed of the locomotive
should be 100 mph, then adjust the maximum speed of the decoder in a
way, that the locomotive runs about 100 mph at speed step 28.
• Set the deceleration momentum of the decoder to a minimum value. This is just the
value, at which now abrupt speed change of the real locomotive can be noticed anymore,
when changing from one speed step to another.
• Adjust the speed table or the mid voltage of the decoder, if any, and its acceleration
momentum to any settings, that you feel convenient with.
Note, that the speed profile must be adjusted again, whenever you changed the
maximum speed, the deceleration momentum, the start or mid voltage or the
speed table of the decoder.
The simplified Profile
The software offers two sets of options to adjust the speed profile of each engine. The
first set allows editing of a simplified profile. This simplified profile describes the speed
characteristics of your engine very roughly only and with identical settings for both directions
of travel. It contains the following entries:
• An entry, that describes the threshold speed. This is the minimum virtual speed step
(out of 1000) at which the engine begins to run smoothly. This value is adjusted by
letting the engine run as slow as possible, but also smoothly. If this is achieved the
current speed value is stored into the software.
• An entry describing the speed step, that corresponds to a pre-set slow speed. Let the
engine run at this speed (e.g. by measuring the speed with a stop watch) and store
this value into the software.
• An entry describing the speed step, that corresponds to the maximum speed of the
engine. This value is determined and stored in the same way as the other two values.
• An entry describing the braking ramp, that is effective, when the engine is stopped
during automatic operation. If the engine is decelerating too slowly or stopping too
late during automatic operation, then this value can be easily adjusted.
