MN Non-Sound Decoders for small scales (Z bis H0)

DCC-logofits-mfx-Logo*

ZIMO non-sound decoders correspond technologically to MS sound decoders. The identical microcontrollers and largely the same components for the power electronics (motor output stages, etc.) are installed in both product classes, and of course also the software is (further) developed together to a large extent. These similarities result in, among other things, the same driving behaviour, the same mapping, the same (planned) script capabilities and a similar project organisation, whereby there are sound projects for sound decoders on the one hand and projects (without sound) for non-sound decoders on the other, which contain both configuration data (i.e. essentially CV lists) and GUI data.

GENERAL CHARACTERISTICS

Short characteristic of the DECODER FAMILIES:

Click on this symbol to expand the respective table row: the meaning of the data in the table and the properties of the individual decoders are explained by background information and application notes.

If you move the mouse over the pictures of the respective decoder, an info area with further pictures appears for selection.
You can also drag the open field and thus keep it open to compare different decoders.

Pictures & Download: In the abovementioned info area there is also a button to display a full-screen gallery with high-resolution images.
In the upper right corner there is a button that you can use to download the images.
