Controlling locomotives
Configuring the "refresh" of functions
5.3.3
By "refreshing" functions we mean the following: In defined regular
intervals, the command station sends function information via the track
to all decoders located on the track. This ensures that a decoder does
not "forget" settings, even if the connection between command station
and decoder is interrupted intentionally (due to "dead frogs") or
unintentionally (due to dirt or a power interruption). For layouts where
many locomotives or decoders are operating simultaneously, it may
make sense to disable this cyclic transmission of individual functions
to decrease the time delay resulting from the total time required for
each transmission (typically 8 mS). This way, you can decide which
function information is transmitted cyclically and which is not. Ex-
factory, the LZV100 cyclically transmits information about functions 0
to 8. A "refresh" of functions affects all locomotive addresses.
To "refresh" functions, proceed as follows:
Action
... or end the configuration process by
pressing 'F' ...
or 'Esc'.

Proceed from "Controlling locomotive". It does
not matter which locomotive address you
select.
Press the 'F' key and keep it pressed until
the display changes.
Release the 'F' key and turn the rotary knob
until you reach this display.
Press the rotary knob to display the current
"refresh setting":
Functions F0 to F8 are transmitted cyclically.
