At last..The joys of DCC

34C, thanks, Yes indeed it was a smooth runner in DC.What I have found is from their site is to check CV49 , something to do with loading. Advises to change it from 1 to 0 . The problem is I can't find CV49 in ECos. Don't tell me that I need a lokprogrammer!

You asked: The problem is I can't find CV49 in ECos. Don't tell me that I need a lokprogrammer!

Look carefully at the programming methods. Changing CV49 is no different to changing any other CV in ECOS. This is covered in page 25 of the English Language ECOS manual

You can check this in two ways.

Go to the programming screen, which is this one shown below,



put in CV 49 in the top box and insert whatever value you want to change it to in the bottom box, or select edit loco, go to the advanced screen which is this one shown below,



put the loco on the programming track and read in what the existing settings are and if you go through all the screens shown by the icons on the left hand side you will find cv49 and what it is currently set to.

Richard , Neil,

Thanks a bunch. Got it. Problem solved !

No worries. There is a lot to find out about the ECoS that is not in the manual. I have put some of my learning experiences in my blog as it may be of benefit to new users.

Have you registered on the ECoS forum yet? It is a good place for info and the all important update downloads. You need your serial number to register.

I haven't registered to the forum yet , but will do so. Its all in German but thanks to "Babelfish" think will help.

By the way, did you know that Esu, probably in November/December, will launch their sound file software, such that we can download it thru the ECos with no need of the extra Lokprogrammer?

Can't wait..

Cheers

Babelfish works ok for me. I occaisionally get away with English too.

The next update for ECoS is going to be a good one. It will apparently contain Railcom which will come out at about the same time as the new Switchpilot. There is a copy of the manual for the new SwitchPilot on the ECoS forum for download by members. It looks pretty good.

I like the idea of being able to download sound files through the ECoS. This means you will only have to buy a generic Loksound decoder and you can change sounds as you wish without having to play around with the LokProgrammer.
