CVs 33-42 allow the user to customize which DSD outputs or sound effects are controlled by
which function keys. Each function input, F0 thru F8, is assigned a unique CV that allows the
corresponding function control to be redirected to up to eight different DSD Function outputs or
sound effects. This allows a single function key to control more than one output if desired.
This feature is especially useful when the DSD is used with a controller that has less than eight
function keys as the user can select which DSD outputs and sounds are important and remap
them to the available function keys. Some outputs or sounds can be sensibly tied to another
output thus freeing up a function. For example, the F5 and F6 lighting outputs could be configured to turn on whenever the headlight or backup light was on.
It is also possible to control a given output with more than one function key. In this case, the
output will be turned on when any of the corresponding function inputs are active. The output
will turn off only when all relevant inputs have also been turned off.
You will have to re-assign function mapping values to gain access to the manual engine notching controls, RPM+ and RPM-. This may mean giving up the use of an existing function and/or
doubling up on function outputs assigned to a function key.
Note that all function inputs cannot be mapped to all outputs. The matrix below graphically
indicates which inputs can control which outputs:

These CVs are used to set the Hyperllight effect and control mode for their respective output:
0000 (0x00) = On/Off output
0001 (0x01) = Rule 17 Dimmable headlight
0010 (0x02) = Mars Light
0011 (0x03) = Pyle Gyralite
0100 (0x04) = Oscillating Headlight
0101 (0x05) = Single Flash Strobe
0110 (0x06) = Double Flash Strobe
0111 (0x07) = Western Cullen D312 Rotary Beacon
1000 (0x08) = Prime Stratolite
1001 (0x09) = Type I Ditch Light
1010 (0x0A) = Type II Ditch Light
1011 (0x0B) = FRED (End of Train flasher)
1100 (0x0C) = Engine Exhaust Flicker
1101 (0x0D) = reserved
1110 (0x0E) = reserved
1111 (0x0F) = reserved
Most of the effects are self-descriptive. However a few need some additional notes:
Dimmable Headlight- The function output is normally an on/off output. If the output is on, the output level will be
reduced about 60% whenev er the dimmer function (Function 4) is on.

Type I and Type II Ditch lights. These are identical when operating. However, if the grade crossing logic is enabled,
the Type I ditch light will revert to a steady on state when it is not flashing whereas the Type II lights will turn off.
Engine Exhaust - This effect produces a random flicker whose intensity is proportional to the engine RPMs. It is
best used by placing a red/orange lamp under the model’s exhaust port out of direct view. As the engine is revved
up, it will glow brighter imitating unmuffled exhaust gases and sparks.
Bit 4:Phase, Phase Select Bit
0 = Phase A
1 = Phase B
The Phase Select bit alters the timing of the effect so that it is 180 degrees out of phase with the other effects.
This allows you to have two light effects that blink back and forth if desired. Set one effect to phase A and the
other to phase B.

Bit 5: XING, Grade Crossing Logic Enable
0 = Crossing Logic disabled
1 = Crossing Logic enabled when Horn function is on.
The Grade Crossing Logic bit causes the lighting effect to become active only when the horn has been
sounded (and the corresponding lighting function key is also on). A typical use would be to cause the
ditch lights to flash at a grade crossing. The grade crossing logic can be used with almost all the Hyperlight effects. The on/off, dimmable headlight, FRED and engine exhaust will not be affected. The other
effects will either turn off (strobes and beacons) or revert to a steady on state (mars light, ditch lights, etc)
as appropriate to prototype practice.

0000 = Auto Notching Disabled
0001 = One Speed Step per Throttle Notch (for 128 speed step mode)
When auto notching is enabled, engine will startup when throttle is first increased. It will increase in
proportion to the throttle speed. The engine RPMs may be shutoff by pressing emergency stop once.
When auto notching is disabled, the Engine RPMs+ (Function 3) and RPMs- Function 4) are used to
manually increase/decrease the engine RPM sound.
Bit 4:Bit 4:
Bit 4:LOCK = Engine RPM Interlock
Bit 4:Bit 4:
0 = Interlock disabled
1 = Interlock enabled
This bit is used to interlock the engine RPMs and the throttle setting when manual notching is used such
that:
1. Locomotive cannot be moved unless engine has been started.
2. Engine cannot be shutoff unless throttle is zero.
Besides the fun of forcing the engineer to follow an operating protocol, this bit is also useful in preventing
inadvertent engine shutoff while the train is moving.
