DSbluebox is an special command station specified for CV programming. You can easily program your locomotives and turnouts to configure CV. Not required PC. Very simple and portable.

CV programming seems difficult doesn't it? DSbluebox can solve!

• Supported many decoders as ESU,Roco,PIKO,Digitraxx,Soundtraxx,lenz,Nagasue,ZIMO,Uhlenbrock,KATO,Nucky,Nagoden.
• CV Read(DIRECT MODE, CV1-1024）
• CV Write(DIRECT MODE, CV1-1024)
• Locomotive address read and write (Automatically updated CV29)
• Nucky Japanese signal address configuration
• Test mode for locomotives and turnouts.
• Manufacture name display (Partly)
• Not specified scale. Z, N, HO, O, G and so on.
• Simple and All-in-one. Not required PC.

Example of CV read

• Supports only DIRECT MODE (Paged, OPS are not supported)
• Isolated current sensor

• CV Read
  CV値を読み込みます。CV番号を入力しENTERを押すと読み込みます。
• CV Write
  CV値を書き込みます。CV番号を入力しENTERまたはDNボタンを押すとCV値入力ができます。さらにENTERを押すと書き込みます。
• CV ReadWrite
  CV値を読み込んだ後に値を変更して書き込みます。CV番号を入力しENTERまたはDNボタンを押すと、CVが読み込まれ、読み込んだCV値が表示されますので、編集入力ができます。さらにENTERを押すと書き込みます。CV読み込みに失敗するとメインメニューに戻ります。
• NuckySignal
  Nucky製日本型信号機のアドレスを簡単に設定できます。ABCDEは、設定アドレススロット1,2,3,4,5に読み替えます。AからEまで、ENTERまたはDNで移動できます。UPで戻ります。Eまで移動してENTERを押すと、0以外の数字が入ったスロットのアドレスを書き換える処理を行います。
• Check LocAddr
  ロコのアドレスを読み取ります。LONGまたSHORTのどちらかかも認識します。
• Write LocAddr
  ロコのアドレスを書き換えます。100以内の場合にはSHORTとして書き込みます。100以上の場合はLONGアドレスとして書き込みます。この仕様はヨーロッパのメーカーの実装形態に合わせたもので、アメリカでは127までのケースが多いです。
• Loc Control
  ロコの試運転機能です。
• Acc Control
  ポイント・信号機の操作機能です。

Please connect feeder wire and DC power supply as the following.

We are preparing functions to use when you do not know the address of the locomotive on the track. You can check by selecting the item called Check LocAddr.

Press ENTER to start CV reading.

The following display will be displayed during reading. The locomotive will tremble continuously irregularly but please wait for about 10 seconds without being surprised. In case of error, an error is displayed and cancels reading of locomotive address. Please confirm the contact of the railroad track and try again. In addition, there are also decoders and vehicles that can not be read by all means, so resignation is crucial at that time.

You can find this decoder address is 3 with short address.

The Japanese type traffic light machine made by Nucky is pretty tough to configure its address. Using DSbluebox, you can easily set the accessory address in 5 address slots at once. A slot containing 0 is not written. Also, with this function, only address is set. For other settings, use the normal CV writing function. Also, since traffic light consumes almost no current, CV reading can not be performed. Watching the LED blink, I judge whether it was written.

DSbluebox supports many decoders certified NMRA DCC Standards.

• PIKO locomotives(installed Uhlenbrock decoder)
• Roco locomotives(installed ZIMO decoder)
• LGB locomtoives
• Soundtraxx decoders
• ESU LokSound series
