good evening,
you want to know if I can use the lokprogrammer with the DCC decoder and eventually how to connect it to the programming track.

thank you

You can certainly change CV settings using a lokprogrammer, I have done that with a Marklin decoder before today.

You will not be able to load sound files into a Marklin decoder though.

You connect a programming track with your CS or similar controller. Then you program your loco with your controller device as usual following your manual.


I guess with "lokprogrammer with the DCC decoder" you mean the 60971 mDT3 (= Märklin Decoder Tool). It is a stick for programming decoders via your computer. Before using it, you must have installed a special software. This one you download from the Märklin homepage for free here:

https://www.maerklin.de/...mldmsd/mdecodertool-mdt/

here are manuals and articles explaining how to use the mDT3

https://static.maerklin....c90826c1de1464620537.pdf

https://www.maerklin.de/...oderTool3_A5_Deutsch.pdf

https://www.maerklin.de/...inDigital_MM_2015_06.pdf

https://www.maerklin.de/...pecial_MM_2016_01_02.pdf

More about the new decoders you find here under “Decoder-ABC: Vorsprung durch Innovation (MM 06/2015 bis MM 06/2016)“

https://www.maerklin.de/...men-specials-und-serien/

As so often, unfortunately these parts are only via the German homepage available. But it is important, because there you read the mDT3 is only for mSD, mLD and mSD3 and mLD3 (the new decoders) usable. For saving and transfering a new project you have different ways available. I would recommend to install the mDT3 software first and start trying to work with it. So you get a first feeling for this tool. And then come here back again, please.

DCC with the new multiprotocol controllers from Märklin is no longer a problem. You can use them for all Märklin track formats. You read more about it in the manuals.

The mDT3 is only a tool for a faster an easier programming by a computer, which you do not need necessarily for programming your loco.

Hello
I do not have the central station but a mobile station 2.
Can I connect the clamp (highlighted with the blue arrow) to the track for programming and how to do?

Look in the manual.

You should connect only the decoder to the interface. Not to the tracks!

As @klarinettmeister mentioned already, a mDT3 is a stick not for the tracks, it is for the computer (black side) and the decoder (green side). You connect the green side always with one decoder. The different interfaces are for the different types of connections to the decoder. Please have a look in your manual. At the last page is a picture all about it.

I never read and used the stick with a MS 2, only with a CS 3. You can alter CVs for your locos with a MS 2. If they got an mfx decoder inside, even you do not need a programming track. But how would you alter sound via a MS 2? I do not know. I only can do it with a CS or the mDT3.

For using the mDT3, of course you have to switch and connect the decoder out of the engine on to the green mDT platform. Then you stick the USB interface at the black side into your computer and via the installed mDT3 software you alter at your decoder what you want and the software can. There is a manual available how to use the mDT3 software. The link is beside the software download.

This programming stick is only usable for the decoders Märklin is writing in its manual. It is not a general tool for usage at all decoders.
