Transfer of decoder parameters in the DCC-A registration procedure
The registration of the decoder with the central unit takes place automatically as soon as the
vehicle is placed on the track. Some of the parameters can be adjusted individually with the
help of the central unit.
Value  Adjustments
Principle symbol 
and symbol
e.g.: 
The decoder can be assigned a principle 
symbol and a symbol from the file stored in the
central unit.
Desired address 3 Address according to the settings in CVs 1 or 
17/18
Address e.g. 1000 The address is assigned to the decoder by the 
control unit and cannot be changed. If no 
vehicle decoder with the same address is 
available, the desired address set in the CVs is 
adopted.
Name and short 
name
LD-G-43 The decoder can be assigned its own name 
and/or short name (max. 8 characters). 
Product name LD-G-43 no change possible
Description --- no change possible
Manufacturer Tams Elektronik  no change possible
UID e.g. 12345678 no change possible
Protocol e.g. DCC/28 Protocol according to the assignment in the 
locomotive database / locomotive list of the 
control unit
Version SW e.g. V2.00 no change possible
Version HW e.g. V1.0 no change possible
registered DCC-A Method by which the decoder was registered 
with the control unit
Functions and 
function icons
Specific icons can be assigned to the functions,
from which it is clear what they switch (e.g. 
front lighting, interior lighting, shunting gear).
