Diesel Version 5:CV 15 - Revision history

TCSDanM: revised - in V4 a decoder will nack a read operation. In V5 the value will read out but cannot be written to. I have fixed this.

== NMRA CV 15 - Decoder Lock (Key) ==
The Decoder Lock is used to change CVs in only one of several decoders with the same short address (CV1) or long address (CV17 and CV18) that are installed in the same locomotive. Assign a number to CV16 in each decoder (i.e. 1 to motor decoder, 2 to sound decoder, 3 or higher to other decoders) before the decoders are installed in the locomotive. To change a value in another CV of one of the installed decoders, first write the number 1 (motor), 2 (sound), or 3 or higher (other) into CV15, then send the new value to the CV to be changed. The decoders will compare CV15 to CV16 and, if the values are equal, the CV to be changed will be changed. If the values in CV15 and CV16 are different, the update will be ignored.

The Value in CV15 must be equal to CV16 in order to read or write CV values.
	* If Decoder Lock is active, only CV15 and CV16 can be manipulated When a decoder is locked, all CV values ''other than'' CV15 and CV16 ~~will~~ report "~~Cannot Read CV~~" or similar on your Command Station.		*If Decoder Lock is active, only CV15 and CV16 can be manipulated When a decoder is locked, all CV values ''other than'' CV15 and CV16 may report "NoAck" or similar on your Command Station when writing, but should read back their expected values.
	* If the values in CV15 and CV16 are different, the decoder is considered locked, and programming request will be ignored.		*If the values in CV15 and CV16 are different, the decoder is considered locked, and programming request will be ignored.
