To calibrate your WOWDiesel locomotive so that it knows the ruling grade and downhill grades on your layout enter Audio Assist™ and go to the calibration menu (menu 3.2) and follow the audio prompt from the decoder. It will ask you to run the locomotive in a coasting condition and then a notch 8 condition. (PRO TIP: While on the calibration menu you can calibrate the coasting point by pressing function 1 or the notch 8 point by pressing button 2, even if the menu is telling you to do otherwise)
Behind the scenes Audio Assist™ is saving the calibration data to CV152 BEMF Calibration Low and CV154 BEMF Calibration High both CV's can be programmed tweaked manually. TCS recommends calibrating using Audio Assist and then manually tweaking the CV's if need be.
