Inside CV29, each bit has a unique meaning. Here is a listing of the bit meanings: Bit 1 ON [1] = 28 Speed Step Mode (should always be enabled) Bit 3 is Railcom and is usually ignored by the DCC system firmware. Bit 4 ON [1] = Alternate Speed Curve Active OFF [0] = Use table defined by CV 2, 5 and 6.

CV29 is probably one of the most useful, but also one of the most feared, CVs in a DCC locomotive decoder. It allows configuration of up to 8 parameters which contribute to the operation of the decoder and can bite if not set correctly.
