Speed Step Assignment
The speed range from a complete stop to maximum speed is set up in steps. The larger the number of steps, the higher the resolution of the speed range. In other words, the larger the speed step, the more control you will have over how smooth your locomotive will run as it accelerates/decelerates. The Commander supports three different speed step modes: 14, 28 and 128 speed steps. The speed step setting is relative to a locomotive decoder address. Therefore, when you follow the steps below, you will be programming the speed steps for the selected locomotive decoder.

•Verify that the decoder of a locomotive can "understand” the speed step modes (consult your decoder manual).

Remember that there are two kinds of decoders: those that are installed into locomotives, and those that are "accessory" or “stationary” and are used to control turnouts or other accessories on your lay-
