I've connected the signal to a m84 (60841) and the m84 manual says that the c38 changes the brightness of the LED's. I have access to a CS2 or an ESU EcoS 50200 Regards Greg

CV editing on a CS2 via the Accessory Setting page has been available for a couple of releases (initially, when the m83/m84 came out, you did need to use the dummy loco method) This includes POM(sic) capability for both DCC and MM
