Interesting discovery tonight running the layout. My outer loop is on variable 1 but I added outer loop to my remote so I can identify it faster. I decided to run the outer loop with variable 1 tonight and found that starting voltage was zero volts and went up by .5 volt values. I found this strange since only 4.3 does this. The software is 4.2. I bought this new last April when they came off BO. I wish I videoed this with my phone because I went into to set min and max voltages and as soon I dialed the min voltage up past 5 volts, that is as low I can set it now. The added outer loop to my remote has always started at 5 volts. Variable 2 also starts at 5 volts. Doing a remote reset did not bring it back. I'm assuming programing glitch caused this to start at zero volts.

 

One more question. What does MIN do in the soft keys when operating variable 1&2. Nothing is listed in the DCS manual for MIN in the manual soft key definitions.

In 4.20, it's a random bug.

From page 32 of The DCS O Gauge Companion 2nd Edition:

• Pressing soft key S3 (MIN) changes track voltage to the starting voltage, as set using the MTV soft key above. The default is 5 volts

 

This and a whole lot more is all in MTH’s “The DCS O Gauge Companion 2nd Edition", available for purchase as an eBook or a printed book at MTH's web store!
