Button Mappings
Standard CV's
There are 256 Standard CV's that control many aspects of the decoder, including address, motor control, lighting setup, and sound volumes
Indexed CV's
There are thousands of Indexed CV's which control more intricate decoder functions such as light modules, light presets, and speed tables.
Indexed CV's require that CV31 and CV32 be setup to configure the CV index
