NMRA CV 63 - Ditch Light Blink Holdover Time

This CV controls how long the ditch lights will blink after the Ditch Light Blink Button is pressed (usually set to the same button as the horn). The Blink Holdover setting defines how long the lights will continue to alternate before returning to constant bright. Values of 1-255 can be used in CV 63 with lower values specifying a shorter holdover and high numbers causing a longer holdover.

To set up this CV, multiply the time (in seconds) that you ditch lights to continue to blink by 2 and program that into this CV to get the desired amount of time for the ditch lights to continue blinking after the horn stops blowing.

To calculate the amount of time the ditch lights will continue to blink after releasing the button, divide the value in the CV by 2 to get the number of seconds.
