CV 1
Primary Address Control
Description
Contains the decoder’s primary address between 1 and 127:
Bit 0-6: A0-A6, Decoder Address
Bit 7: Not used. Must be set to 0!
The decoder will process all valid instruction packets containing an address
that matches the value contained in this register when CV 29, bit 5 is set to 0.
Programming this register with a new value will automatically clear the
Consist Address (CV 19) to 0 and clear the Extended Address Enable bit in
CV 29 (bit 5).
The decoder will ignore commands that attempt to program this register with
values outside the range of 1 to 127.
Note that CV 1 can only be changed in operations mode if the extended
address is enabled.
Default Value: 3

Primary CVs
Description
Vstart defines the initial voltage level applied to the motor at speed step 1 as
a fraction of available supply voltage:
D0-D7: Motor Start Voltage
Vstart may contain any value from 0 to 255. The starting voltage applied to
the motor may be computed as:
Starting Voltage = Supply Voltage X CV2÷255
where CV 2 is the contents of the Vstart register. A value of 0 corresponds to
a zero starting voltage. A value of 255 corresponds to the maximum available
voltage (100%).
For speed steps greater than 1, the DSD will continue to sum the initial
starting voltage level into the throttle computations which has the effect of
offsetting all points on a given speed curve by the level set by Vstart as
illustrated in the figure below.

CV 3
Baseline Acceleration Rate
Description
Contains a value between 0 and 255 that sets the decoder’s acceleration
rate:
D0-D7: Baseline Acceleration Rate
Acceleration rate may be computed as:
seconds/speed step = CV 3 x 0.896÷Number of speed steps
When this CV is set to 0, the locomotive speed will respond nearly instantly
to increases in the throttle setting, equivalent to no momentum. When set to
255, it will take approximately 3.8 minutes to accelerate to full speed from a
standing stop.
It is recommended that this CV be set to a nonzero value when operating the
DSD in 14 or 28 speed step modes as the throttle will interpolate between
speed steps during acceleration to produce a smoother overall response.
Default value: 0

D0-D7: Baseline Braking Rate
Braking rate may be computed as:
seconds/speed step = CV 3 x 0.896÷Number of speed steps
When this CV is set to 0, the locomotive speed will respond nearly instantly
to decreases in the throttle setting. When set to 255, it will take approximately
3.8 minutes to brake to a stop from full speed.
It is recommended that this CV be set to a nonzero value when operating the
DSD in 14 or 28 speed step modes as the throttle will interpolate between
speed steps during braking to produce a smoother overall response.

BEMF Cutout
Description
This is used to gradually reduce the effect of the BEMF Control as locomotive
speed is increased. This CV contains a value from 0-127 that corresponds to
the speed step at which the intensity of BEMF control will be reduced to zero.
D0-D7: BEMF Cutout
This CV can alternatively contain a value from 128-255 which will cause
the BEMF intensity to decrease to a percentage between 0 and 50% of the
BEMF intensity set by CV 212 as:
Full Speed BEMF Intensity = (CV 212 – 128)÷128

Packet Time Out Value
Description
Contains a value between 0 and 255 corresponding to the time period that is
allowed to elapse between receipts of a valid packet addressed to the DSD
before a throttle shutdown occurs.
D0-D7: Packet Time-out Value
The time out period is computed in seconds as:
Time Out Period = CV 11 X 0.25
A CV value of 0 disables the time out period and the locomotive will run
indefinitely without receiving another packet.
For all other values, the DSD maintains an internal timer, which is reset every
time the DSD receives a valid broadcast address packet or other valid packet
whose address matches its primary address or, if enabled, the extended
address or consist address.
In the event no valid packets are received within the prescribed time period,
the DSD will bring the locomotive to a stop at the rate set by CV 4 and CV
24. The state of the auxiliary function outputs will remain unchanged.

CV 17,18
Extended Address
Description
CV 17 and 18 make up a ‘paired’ CV, meaning that the two CV registers
taken together hold one piece of data; in this case, the 14-bit extended
decoder address:
CV 17 Extended Address MSB
CV 18 Extended Address LSB
A0-A15: Extended Address Value
The extended address allows the decoder to be assigned one of 10,179
addresses ranging from 0xC000 to 0xE7FF (Note however, that most
command stations will only recognize addresses 0000 through 9999.). The
extended address will only be recognized by the decoder when CV 29, bit
5 is set to 1. Once this bit is set, the decoder will no longer recognize its
primary address until CV 29, bit 5 is cleared.
CV 17 contains the most significant byte and must be loaded with values
within the range of 0xC0 and 0xE7. CV 18 contains the least significant byte
and may contain any value.
To determine the extended address value, add the desired four-digit address
to the number 49152. Divide this number by 256 and record the quotient and
the remainder. CV 17 is then programmed with the quotient value and CV 18
is programmed with the remainder value.
Example: Compute CV 17 and 18 register values for extended address 7152.
1. Add 7152 to 49152: Sum = 56304.
2. Divide 56304 by 256: Quotient = 219 Remainder = 240
3. Program CV 17 to 219
4. Program CV 18 to 240
Note: Most command stations will handle these computations automatically
Tsunami Technical Reference Page 14
Tsunami Technical Reference Page 15
Primary CVs
when setting the extended address. However, it’s still nice to know how to
derive them.
Because CV 17 and 18 make up a paired CV, programming order is
important. CV 17 must be written to first, followed by a write to CV 18. The
decoder will ignore commands that attempt to program these registers out of
order or with values outside the allowed range of 0xC000 to 0xE7FF.
These CVs may be changed in service mode at any time, but in operations
mode only when CV 29, bit 5 is cleared (i.e., CV 1, Primary Address is
enabled).
Default Value: CV 17 = 192, CV 18 = 03 (Long Address 0003)

CV 19
Consist Address
Description
Contains address and direction data for consist operation:
Bit 0-6: A0-A6, Consist Address Value
Bit 7: CDIR, Consist Direction
0 = Normal Direction
1 = Reverse Direction
The CDIR bit defines orientation of the locomotive within a consist and
specifies whether the direction bit in a speed/direction data packet should be
inverted.
Bits A0-A6 assigns the consist address from 0 to 127. If A0-A6 = 00, consist
commands are ignored. Otherwise, if the decoder receives a valid command
packet whose address matches the consist address, the packet will be
processed as any other packet with the following exceptions:
Long Form CV Access instructions will be ignored.
The direction bit in a speed/direction or advanced operation packet is
inverted if CDIR = 1.
Only the auxiliary functions enabled in CV 21 and CV 22 are allowed to
change.
When the consist address is active, speed/direction and advanced operations
packets sent to the decoder’s primary address (or extended address, if
enabled) will be ignored. All other instruction packets sent to the decoder’s
primary (or extended) address, including CV access and function control, will
continue to be processed as normal.
In summary, setting CV 19 to 0 or 128 disables consist addressing. Setting
CV to a value between 1 and 127 enables consist addresses 1 to 127
with the locomotive oriented facing forward in the consist. Setting CV to a
value between 129 and 255 enables consist addresses 1 to 127 with the
locomotive oriented facing backwards in the consist.

This register is useful for differentiating the Headlight and Backup Light
functions in the lead engine of the consist from the other engines. For
example, by setting this register in the lead locomotive to 1 and the same
register in all other engines to 0, only the headlight in the lead engine will be
on and only when the consist is moving forward.

Consist Acceleration Rate
Description
Contains a value between -127 to +127 corresponding to the decoder’s
consist acceleration offset:
Bits 0-6: D0-D6, Consist Acceleration value
Bit 7: Sign
0 = positive value
1 = negative value
When the consist address is active, the consist acceleration rate is added to
or subtracted from the decoder’s base acceleration rate depending on the
sign bit. The acceleration is then computed as:
seconds/speed step = (CV 3 + CV 23) x 0.896÷Number of speed steps
If the sum of CV 3 and CV 23 is negative, then the acceleration rate is set to
0 (i.e., acceleration is instant.) If the sum of CV 3 and CV 23 exceeds 255,
then the acceleration rate is set to the maximum value of 255.
This CV has no effect when the consist address is set to 0.
In summary, a CV value between 0 and 127 will increase the decoder’s base
acceleration rate. Values between 128 and 255 will decrease the decoder’s
base acceleration rate.

Bits 0-6: D0-D6, Consist Braking value
Bit 7: Sign
0 = positive value
1 = negative value
When the consist address is active, the consist braking rate is added to or
subtracted from the decoder’s baseline braking rate depending on the sign
bit. The braking rate is then computed as:
seconds/speed step = (CV 4 + CV 24) x 0.896÷Number of speed steps
If the sum of CV 4 and CV 24 is negative, then the braking rate is set to 0
(i.e., braking is instant.) If the sum of CV 4 and CV 24 exceeds 255, then the
braking rate is set to the maximum value of 255.
This CV has no effect when the consist address is set to 0.
In summary, a CV value between 0 and 127 will increase the decoder’s base
braking rate. Values between 128 and 255 will decrease the decoder’s base
braking rate.

Description
Used to select one of 15 Speed Curves:
D0-D6: Table Identifier/Speed Step Value
MIDSPD: 0 = Factory Speed Table Select
1 = Mid Range Speed (Not used)
When MIDSPD = 0, D0-D6 defines which preset factory speed table is used.

11 = Exponential Curve 2
12 = Exponential Curve 3
13 = Exponential Curve 4
14 = Exponential Curve 5
15 = Exponential Curve 6
16 = User Defined Speed Table defined by CVs 67-94.
CV 25 may be programmed with any value between 0 and 31. Values
between 2 and 15 allow the user to select from one of 14 predefined speed
curves as depicted below. The logarithmic curves provide a shallower
speed response as the throttle is increased. These curves are useful for
locomotives that require a high starting voltage to get moving or matching
a highly geared locomotive to one that has less gearing. The exponential
curves are useful for slowing down locomotives that have a “slot car”
response.
Setting this CV to a value of 16 will enable the speed curve programmed into
CVs 67-94. This curve may be programmed by the user to get virtually any
response desired.

Description
CV 29 contains miscellaneous decoder configuration bits:

1 = direction bit in Speed/Direction instruction is inverted
before processing.
Bit 1: F0 Location
0 = F0 state is controlled by bit 4 of Speed/Direction
Instruction (14 Speed Step Mode)
1 = F0 state is controlled by bit 4 of Function Group 1
Instruction (28 and 128 Speed Step Modes)
Bit 2: APS, Alternate Power Source enable
0 = NMRA Digital Only
1 = Alternate Power Source enabled as set by CV 12
Bit 3: ACK, Advanced Acknowledge Mode enable (not used)
0 = Advanced Acknowledge mode disabled.
1 = Advanced Acknowledge mode enabled.
Bit 4: STE, Speed Table Enable
0 = Speed Table set by CV 2, 4 and 6.
1 = Use custom speed table selected by CV 25.
Bit 5: EAM, Extended Address Mode enable
0 = Decoder responds to Primary Address in CV 1
1 = Decoder responds to Extended Address in CV 17-18
Bit 6: Reserved for future use.
Bit 7: Multifunction Decoder - Always reads as 0.
When the DIR bit is set, the locomotive and headlight will run in a direction
opposite to the speed/direction instruction received. This bit is mostly useful
for diesel locomotives that are run long hood forward and has little use for
steam operation.
The F0 bit should be cleared to 0 if you are using the decoder in 14 speed
step mode. If you are using 28 or 128 speed step modes, this bit should be
Tsunami Technical Reference Page 24
Tsunami Technical Reference Page 25
Primary CVs
set to 1.
The STE bit must be set to 1 in order to enable any of the speed curves
selected using CV 25. Otherwise, the DSD will provide a linear (straight-line)
throttle response.
The EAM bit must be set to 1 in order to activate extended address
capability. Note that once this bit is set, the decoder will respond to
commands sent to the extended address only and commands sent to the
primary address will be ignored. This can be a problem if you are using
a command station that does not support extended addressing and the
bit gets accidentally set. In such a case, you must connect the DSD to a
programming track to gain access to the CV and clear the bit.
The APS bit must be set to 1 in order to activate an alternate power mode as
set in CV 12. To activate Analog Mode Operation, you must also set CV 12 to
1.
The DSD does not support advanced acknowledgment and the ACK bit will
always read as 0.

CV 33-46
Function Output Map
CVs 33-46 allow the user to customize which DSD outputs or sound effects
are controlled by which function keys. Each function input, F0 through F12,
is assigned a unique CV that allows the corresponding function control to be
redirected to up to fifteen different DSD function outputs or sound effects.
This allows a single function key to control more than one output if desired.
The F0 function has two CVs - one for forward direction and one for reverse.
Function outputs mapped to these registers will be directional unless the
same output is mapped to both CVs.
Note that all function inputs cannot be mapped to all outputs. The matrix
below graphically indicates which inputs can control which outputs:

F0(f) Output Location
Description
Maps the F0(f) function to any of eight DSD auxiliary function outputs as
defined by a 1 in the corresponding bit position:
Bit 0: HL, Head light output
0 = Output is unaffected by F0(fwd).
1 = Output is activated when F0(fwd) is on.
Bit 1: BL, Backup light output
0 = Output is unaffected by F0(fwd).
1 = Output is activated when F0(fwd) is on.
Bit 2: WH, Whistle Sound Effect
0 = Sound is unaffected by F0(fwd).
1 = Sound is activated when F0(fwd) is on.
Bit 3: BEL, Bell Sound Effect
0 = Sound is unaffected by F0(fwd).
1 = Sound is activated when F0(fwd) is on.
Bit 4: FX5, Effect 1 output
0 = Output is unaffected by F0(fwd).
1 = Output is activated when F0(fwd) is on.
Bit 5: FX6, Effect 2 output
0 = Output is unaffected by F0(fwd).
1 = Output is activated when F0(fwd) is on.
Bit 6: DYN, Dynamo Sound Effect
0 = Sound is unaffected by F0(fwd).
1 = Sound is activated when F0(fwd) is on.
Bit 7: SHW, Short Whistle Sound Effect
0 = Sound is unaffected by F0(fwd).
1 = Sound is activated when F0(fwd) is on.
Default Value: 65
