8.5 Scaleable Speed Stabilization (Back EMF)
Digitrax decoders are equipped with scaleable speed stabilization (adjustable 
Back EMF). This LocoMotion feature can help smooth out operation in the 
low end speed range. It allows you to run locomotives at the same speed no 
matter the track grade. It can also help improve operation of steam locomo-
tives. Digitrax decoders offer the ability to adjust the amount of speed stabili-
zation used by a decoder. Digitrax FX

 decoders are shipped with default speed 
stabilization values that improve the operation of most locomotives.

CV55 controls the static compensation or how much the decoder considers 
the difference between the current motor and locomotive speed and the target 
speed set on the throttle when determining the next speed command to send to 
the motor. This is like the stiffness of a spring. The stiffer the spring, the more 
compensation you will get. CV55 values can range from 000-255. Higher val-
ues give a more intense reaction and lower values give less intense reactions. 
The factory default setting for CV55 is 128. It will have no effect on decoder 
operation until you program CV57 as described below.
