The LokProgrammer 53450 / 53451 offers the easiest and most
comfortable way of setting the CVs of LokPilot decoders: simply
by a few mouse clicks on an MS-Windows® computer. The
computer saves you to look for the various CV numbers and
values. More information is contained in the manual for the
LokProgrammer.
You can access all properties of ESU decoders with the
LokProgrammer. Since this works independently form the data
format it also works for M4 decoders.
9. Address Settings
Each LokPilot decoder requires a definite address to be
addressable for the central unit. Depending on the type of
decoder and the digital system, there are several possibilities
how to allocate addresses.
9.1. Short Addresses in DCC Mode

Normally you would control LokPilot decoders with the short
address that is stored in CV 1. In DCC mode, the permitted
values range from 1 to 127. In order to enable the decoder to
„listen“ to the short address you must delete bit 5 in CV 29.
Some digital systems (e.g.: ROCO® Lokmaus2, Lenz digital plus,
Lenz compact) only support the values 1 – 99 as short address.
9.2. Long Addresses in DCC Mode

You can operate LokPilot decoders also with long addresses (4-
digit addresses). The supported values range from 128 – 10239.
The long address is stored in the CVs 17 and 18. You must
activate the long address by setting bit 5 in CV 29.
Bit 5 in CV 29 switches between short and long address. The
decoder can only respond to one address at a time.
If you want to use your LokPilot with the long address it is practical
to program this address directly with your digital system: most
modern digital systems (e.g.: ESU ECoS, Bachmann E-Z
Command® Dynamis®) have a menu for programming long
addresses. The command station not only programs CV 29
correctly but also assures the correct storage of the values for
the long address in CV 17 and 18.
If you want to enter the long address manually in CV 17 and 18
please refer to chapter 22.1.
