If you change the throttle from speed step 0 to full speed 10 speed steps at a time this will take a few seconds. Without a delay the decoder will most likely go from idle to notch 1, then from notch 1 to notch 8. With a delay the decoder will go from idle to notch 8 as it waits to see what the final desired speed is then calculates what notch to go to.

NMRA CV 116 - Sound Delay Time

This CV controls how long the sound will delay after a speed command is received before changing the prime mover notch. This feature allows the sound and motor to better sync.

If you change the throttle from speed step 0 to full speed 10 speed steps at a time this will take a few seconds. Without a delay the decoder will most likely go from idle to notch 1, then from notch 1 to notch 8. With a delay the decoder will go from idle to notch 8 as it waits to see what the final desired speed is then calculates what notch to go to.

Example To set the delay time multiply the desired time (in seconds) by 2 and program that value into CV116. For example if you want to give 2 seconds from when the speed command is sent/directional sound starts playing enter a value of 4 into CV116
