Tuning the ESU Decoder to suit your locomotive
The Loksound chip can handle a broad range of different motors and works well 'out of the box' with most of them. Sometimes the factory settings don't work well with certain motors and the commonest symptom you see is a slight juddering as the loco starts and stops. However, the v4 chip has got a nifty new feature and is able to automatically fine-tune its own CV settings and get rid of this problem and operate silky-smoothly.
This is done as follows;
Place the loco on a long stretch of track with plenty of room to move in front and behind - at least a metre (or use a rolling road) Set CV54 to 0, Then Press F1.
The loco will move at high speed for a short distance, measure the motor's reponse and then adjust itself accordingly. From then on the motor will operate smoothly without juddering
