==List of WOWElectric Version 2 Indexed CV's==

===Index 1:X - Sound Button Remapping===
Set CV 201 and CV 202 to a value shown in the table below to select a button to map a sound to. Then, use CV 203 and CV 204 to select the sound you would like to map to the button. 

'''Note: it is highly recommended that you use [[Audio Assist®|Audio Assist]] to remap sound functions, as it requires much less effort and no lookup tables!'''

|DC Mode Motor Hysteresis - Regulated Supply Mode
|DC Mode motor hysteresis – When the engine starts moving in DC mode the increased current draw may cause some oscillation.
If so, increase the value in this CV until the oscillation goes away. '''Using too high of a value will result in the decoder powering down before the motor stops running.''' 

If the engine is going through a power on reset try increasing Sound CV 43 (Voltage at which the Engine will power up at while in DC mode)

|High Horn Threshold (5mph safety switch)
|'''VERSION 2+ ONLY''' Speed step at which the decoder will begin playing the High-Pressure Horn. When the speed is set to below this value, the decoder will use the low-pressure horn. A value of 0 disables this feature, and the high horn will always play. A value of 1 will only play the low horn when stationary.
(Valid Values = 0-126)

NOTE: This feature only applies to specific horns, and does not apply to all horn sets available on this decoder.

==Index 6:X - Sound Type Volumes==
Set CV 201 to 6 and CV 202 to the desired Volume Level (x), then set CV 204 to the value of the Sound Type you want to change. (CV 203 is unused and should be Zero.) The Sound Type Numbers are listed in the List of Sounds for a specific project. There are typically 30 sound types or less.

'''Note: it is highly recommended that you use [[Audio Assist®|Audio Assist]] to change sound type volume levels, as it requires much less effort and no lookup tables!'''
