The following values are used in case an MVTrack calibrating command:

The max. km/h to use for calibrating.
If zero the V_Max value on the interface tab is used.

The mid km/h value used for calibration refers to the medium speed of the decoder,
not to the V_Mid parameter in the *Speed* tab.

When using a linear speed curve in the decoder, the mid speed should be set to half of the maximum speed (max. km/h).
Example: If the maximum speed defined in the decoder is 120 km/h, the mid speed should be set to 60 km/h.

The maximum decoder speed CV 5 value range; Check the decoder manual for the correct values.

The percentage, default 30%, of the calculated CV 5 value to save in CV 6. (CV 6 is the mid decoder speed. Check the decoder manual if CV 6 is supported.)
With the checkbox on the right the POM programming of CV 6 can be enabled or disabled.

These fields can be used if the CV numbers are not NMRA DCC conform.
The second field to the right is an optional index of the CV. Typically for MFX decoders.
Note: The default NMRA DCC values are used if not set.

Correction value from 10 to 150% used during calibration to adjust the difference between CV old and CV.
With some decoders, this adjustment is necessary to achieve a more accurate approximation of the correct value.

Simulation of speed measurement.

Caution Use only in a dummy locomotive, as the CV values ​​are stored in the locomotive.
