Can Bachmann's Command Plus be used to set CVs? If so how? There's no guidance on the internet or YouTube.
Hi Alastair,
The E-Z Command Plus cannot be used to set CVs in most instances.
Models with a TCS decoder with Audio Assist technology are designed to change decoder settings using just the address/function buttons 0-9 on DCC systems such as the E-Z Command Plus. Direct modification of CVs otherwise requires another manufacturer's DCC system or a software utility.
I use E-Z Command to run my layout.
I bought a Digitrax PR4 to program the addresses and CV's on a separate piece of track.

So if I understand you correctly, I can set up a separate short section of track to program the CV values of equipment using a decoder like Digitrax.
Yes. That PR4 will do it. You have to use a computer with Windows or MAC.
