PS3 DCC questions / information

the Decoder instruction manual for the locomotive should tell what each CV (configuration variable) on the decoder does.    In DCC the information available for use without downloading new stuff is on the decoder, not in the control system.

The basic control CVs are the same across all decoders.    When you get into fancy sound and light functions, then the each mfg might be doing something different with the CVs.

as for the throttle functions, generally the standard across all DCC systems is that 0 turns the headlights on and off, 1 does the bell,  2 is the horn.     Beyond that it may get unique.  

This is a PS3 upgrade on a #1 scale challenger, thus no manual.

Yes, the "fancy sound" functions are the question. I'm only talking MTH PS3 DCC, I'm well versed in DCC on other decoders.

Muck around on the MTH website.  Find a #1 scale PS3 loco, download its manual.

There are several different files with different functions.

And what is published does not always work.

I have a PS3 manual, and it is a mess it says it is for a Dash 8, but lists steam functions too.

In any case, I have not found any documentation that matches how the locomotive actually works under DCC, this is the point.

In any case, is there any way to read the sound file version? DCS or DCC?
