1. The brake squeal is to be suppressed when an engine is driven for a short time only That is usually a shunting run and often without any cars in reality it is mostly the cars that are squealing not the engine itself Note Brake squeal sounds can also be assigned to a function key see allocation procedure CV 300 with which they can be played ma nually or stopped The pitch of the thyristor control sound of many engines typical example Taurus should not as cend evenly but rather in steps 1 no stepping effect even ascend 1 255 ascending scale according to the corresponding speed step interval Percentage of the increased pitch of the thyristor sound at medium speed compared to standstill Define the medium speed in CV 292 0 no change pitch remains the same as at standstill 1 99 corresponding change in pitch 100 pitch doubled already at medium speed Percentage of the increased pitch of the thyristor sound at maximum speed compared to standstill 0 no change pitch remains the same as at standstill LEAD CV 296 297 G scale Decoder amp Sound Decoder MX695 6 7 Value INC De ee ELECTRIC engines From SW version 20 Thyristor control Speed step for me dium speed for ELECTRIC engines Thyristor control Volume at steady speed for ELECTRIC engines Thyristor control Volume during acce leration for ELECTRIC engines Thyr
