Normal Direction of Travel

  CV29 is assigned a single value which chooses a combination of specific effects: 1. Speed step control. 2. Speed table On or Off. 3. Analog mode conversion On or Off. 4. Normal Direction of Travel (NDOT). 5. 2 digit addressing or 4 digit addressing. Normal Direction of Travel, or NDOT for short, lets you set up your locos to run either long hood forward or short hood forward. Because with DCC the decoder determines which way the loco will move independent of track polarity, you can set up either direction as forward depending on the prototype. (Not all decoders ...

CV29 is also called the Configuration Register.  It is a special CV that handles several different aspects of locomotive behavior.Characteristics Controlled by CV29:1.     Speed Step Control:  Advanced Mode (28/128 speed steps) or Standard Mode (14 speed steps).2.     Speed Tables: On or Off3.     Analog mode conversion: On or Off4.     Normal Direction of Travel (NDOT)5.     2 or 4 Digit Address selectionDetermining CV Value To Program Into CV29The numerical value value you will program into CV29 will affect many important decoder characteristics.  Each of these characteristics is controlled by a "software switch." This switch is either on or off depending on the CV ...

CV29 is called the configuration register. It controls the following decoder characteristics: 1.  Whether the decoder uses 14 speed steps, 28/128 speed steps or loadable speed tables.  This affects how smoothly the loco will move and how it responds to throttle controls.2.  Whether the decoder automatically converts to analog mode when no DCC signal is present.  This allows the decoder to operate on a DC layout even though it is DCC equipped.3.  Defines the normal direction of travel for the locomotive. Normal Direction of Travel or NDOT can be changed when the motor connections of decoder have not been connected so that the locomotive runs ...
