Error Correction

== Error Correction == 
The command station calculates a value using the address and data bytes which becomes the error correction byte seen in the DCC Packet. Error correction is provided using an XOR function (Exclusive OR), and should it be found to be correct the decoder can act on the data bytes.
The error correction scheme cannot correct an error, it can only detect that the data is corrupt. Should the XOR operation fail, the packet is discarded and the decoder awaits a new one.
When a decoder sees the preamble, followed by a zero, it immediately takes note. If the address byte matches the decoder's address it then processes the address and instruction bytes and compares the result to the error correction byte. If the result matches the Error Correction Byte it then processes the commands it has received. By checking for errors in the DCC packet the decoder can reject a corrupt packet caused by electrical noise or dirty trackage. Should a packet be rejected, the decoder will wait for another packet addressed to it. 
By doing this, erratic operations caused by corrupt data can be eliminated. The likelihood of a corrupted DCC packet passing as valid is extremely unlikely.

FRED

Advanced smart FREDs transmit speed and air line pressure via radio to a receiver in the cab. The receiver, SBU (Sense and Brake Unit, Canada) or HOT (Head-of-train, US) is often referred to as WILMA by railroaders.
FREDs can be modelled using SMT LEDs.
Also see FX_Lighting
Want to build your own FRED? See Flashing Rear-End Device For DCC Systems for a schematic, and many other DCC projects.
==Other Uses of the Term==
Fireman Fred is a series of sound effects available on Tsunami Decoders by Soundtraxx. Sounds such as shovelling coal, injectors, or water being dumped into the tender are available either by a function key or automatically depending on the situation and programming.

Fast Clock

A Fast Clock is exactly what its name implies: A clock which runs faster than normal.
Its purpose is to compress time for realistic model railroad operations. Trains run to a schedule, but in a compressed world, time enhances the illusion when it passes faster than it normally would in real time.
==DCC and Fast Time Clocks==
Many Digital Command Control systems possess the ability to display a fast clock, with the user able to set the desired ratio. The ratio can be 1:1, or up to 1:5.
Pressing the CLOC key on a Digitrax throttle displays the time, which is also available on LocoNet to sync all the throttle's time.
NCE also offers a fast clock on their throttles with a display. The time is also broadcast on the Cab Bus.
=== External Clocks ===
A number of manufacturers offer fast clocks which interface with the throttle network to provide time. In these situations the command station acts as the master reference for time on the network.
==== JMRI ====
JMRI also offers a fast clock. It can be provided using the computer's internal clock, or synchronised to the throttle or LCC bus. A number of styles are offered.
==See Also ==
* LCC Fast Clock
* Fast Clock Display
* PaceSetter Wireless Scale Time Clock
* Fast Clock Repeater
* LocoNet Fast Clock
Fast Clock Display

== Features ==
The display of the fast clock value will be in either a 12-hour or 24-hour format, depending on how it is configured on the NCE Command Station. When using 12-hour format, PM times are indicated by the colon flashing at 1 Hz.
=== Connections ===
Connecting our Fast Clock Display is similar to connecting NCE’s Cab Bus Fascia Panel, model UTP.
A cab bus cable with an RJ-12 plug (six position, six conductor) on the end is plugged into the jack on the rear of the Fast Clock Display labeled Upstream. The Cab Bus can be daisy chained from one Fast Clock Display to another, or to a UTP. 
The RJ-12 jack on the front panel may be used to connect a cab.
Fichtelbahn

==Fichtelbahn Product Range ==
Fichtelbahn is a manufacturer of BiDiB enabled products. Available products include a Command Station, which also doubles as a DCC booster and supports up to 48 feedback blocks through the GBM16T module. 
=== General Architecture ===
The main component of the system is the GBMBoost module which provides a DCC booster and can work on a Master or Slave configuration. The BiDiB network can only contain one master node which acts as a command station and interfaces with a PC control application.
Further GBMBoost nodes operate as slaves and provide Booster districts to the layout.
=== Feedback ===
Each GBMBoost node (Master or Slaves) can manage up to 48 detection zones on the layout through the GBM16T module. Each GBMBoost already includes on GBM16T so two more of such modules can be connected to the node.

Finescale

Finescale standards or Fine Standards are model railway standards that aim to be close to the prototype dimensions. Reduction in the toylike appearance, with overscale flanges, pointwork, etc to make the models more realistic. 
In Britain it is particularly used because small British prototypes meant that track gauge is underscale. Modelling to finescale standards requires skill, so modellers usually start with the coarse standards applied to ready-to-run models suitable as toys. Standards are set by modellers' societies.
Finescale Standards
* ScaleSeven (7mm scale, O gauge)
* EM gauge (4mm scale, 18.2mm gauge)
* Protofour/P4 scale (4mm scale, 18.83mm gauge)
* Proto:87 (H0 scale)
* 3mm finescale
* 2mm finescale
* O14 (7mm scale, 14mm gauge - to represent 2 ft narrow gauge)
For more information see Finescale Standard on Wikipedia.

* Specific Loco Installs - It would be nice to have a single source for "how to I get the cover off", "what decoders will fit", "remember to clip that stupid capacitor" type advice. Maybe commericial people with online resources like Tony's would post their info in exchange for a non changable ad to their web site - Information courtesy of ...." Aug 9, 2006
: I do agree that we need some sort of loco install information. How would we organize it? What do you think about the first page being something like "Decoder installations" with subsequent pages like "G-Scale decoder installs" and "N-Scale decoder installs" (etc, for each scale). The sub pages would list information specific to that scale and could include links to other pages for specific locomotives. Thoughts? Ideas? Who wants to start? :-)
: Although it would be great if some company did contribute this information, DCCWiki is advertisement free, outside the Vendors and manufacturers pages, so they would be unable to state "The following has been brought to you by....". If everyone that installs a decoders, created ONE page, we would have a wealth of information. It just takes time.
: Let me know what you think, and i could setup an outline of pages for people to start work on. TazzyTazzy 18:04, 9 August 2006 (EDT)

* Turntables - Using them, wiring them, controlling them, etc. I understand there are lots of different ones, each having different specs. Eventually, could have a section on each brand/model. I don't know ANYTHING about them, so I couldn't even start an empty page on this. Just a suggestion if there are any turntable experts.
* Soldering Tips - How to solder, flux, tip types, portable types, making good electrical connections, etc. 24.2.63.224 01:23, 14 January 2006 (EST)

Function Map

Function Mapping determines which keys on the throttle control a function. 
The functions can be remapped if needed, in some cases multiple functions can be assigned to a single key. See your decoder manual for which CVs are used for the function map, and how to alter them.
The CVs which are used for function mapping a limited to 8 bits, therefore only 8 functions can be mapped to a key.

GBM

==Description==
The OpenDCC GBM is a DIY command station from Fichtelbahn. It is part of the manufacturer range of BiDiB enabled products. This command station is focused on computer control and contains an USB port for connection to a PC running model rail control software. 
The GBM contains a 4 Ampere booster. It contains a 16-fold output via an embedded GBM16T module. These 16 outputs are feedback capable, so they can detect train occupancy of each block. They are also Railcom enabled so train identification is possible. (Assuming a Railcom enabled decoder is installed on the locomotive).
The GBM command stations can be extended with two further GBM16T modules so in total one GBM with two GBM16T can provide 48 occupancy detection and feedback track blocks.
== Architecture ==
In a BiDiB device network one GBM acts as a master and is responsible for interfacing with the PC software and generating the DCC signal. If further boosters are necessary more GBMs can be connected to the BiDiB network via standard CAT-6 network cables. Each of these will act as a slave to the master GBM.
Other BiDiB enabled devices can be connected to network. These include:
* Points (turnouts) decoders
* Servo motor decoders
* Light control decoders
* Relay switch decoders
* S88 interface devices.
GBM16T

The GBM16T occupancy detector is an expansion module for the Fichtelbahn GBM command station from Fichtelbahn, a German manufacturer. It provides 16 additional track occupancy zones with feedback via RailCom. In order to work, a GBMboost device is required.
A total of two additional GBM16T modules can be connected to a GBM node that already contains one of these modules, thus providing a total of 48 (2 times 16 plus 16) detection zones.
GBM16TS

The GBM16TS is a feedback module from Fichtelbahn for position detection and identification of locomotives on the track using the BiDiB bus. It was launched in 2017.
== Description ==
This module provides occupancy detection for 16 track sections and locomotive identification, via RailCom on all sections (Requires RailCom compatible decoder installed on the locomotive). It operates as a BiDiB node as reports to the bus the occupation status of the monitored 16 track sections. It is similar in function to the GBM16T however this module is in itself a BiDiB node and does not require a GBMBoost to connect to the bus.
