Quantum Chip Upgrade
Locomotives with Q1a Releases

The QSI Chip upgrade release is a dynamic process. As we are adding new features and more options, this release schedule is being updated to reflect it. Some release dates are extended and some moved up. Complete firmware history is here below the main table.

To date the the major changes are:

  • Alternate bell options added
  • Alternate chuff options added
  • Alternate diesel horn options added
  • All original -0 and some-1 sound files posted

We are also working on:

  • More chuff options
  • Improved EMD 1st gen notching and transitions
  • This effort is delaying some EMD releases

"The upgrade of the chip for the BLI E-7 is just great. This new chip really makes a difference in the performance of this engine. I look forward the announcements of the chips for the GG1 and J-1."
Paul S.

If you are still not certain about the loco you have, you can get a vocal response from your locomotive indicating such by following the instructions for DC and DCC.

Important Note: The downloadable sound files shown below are only the latest Q1a upgrade if the ship date says "In Stock".

A complete list of all QSI equipped locomotives is available. On this list all "Production Release" software designations ending in an "s" require an Upgrade Chip, those that do not have the "s" can be upgraded using the Quantum Programmer.

NOTES
1) Models not otherwise noted have Reed Switch. (Pot) is for Trim Pot
2) The 1st run of the BLI E7's had w/Mars and w/o Mars using the same software. Also the Reed switch was introduced during productiuon, hence the 4 choices above for the during initial E7 Releases, thus the four options shown above
3) Specific Dash # option features will be posted in next update.
4) This filename does not end in 's'. The only OEM firmware for 144 and 145 was version 7 and did not require Lucky Flash chip. Thus the upgrade firmware for 144 and 145 also does not require a Lucky Flash chip. The 144 and 145 firmware will run on any chip. Customers who have locomotives with 144 or 145 firmware do not need to purchase an upgrade chip. They can upgrade their locomotive's firmware directly using the Quantum Programmer.
5) Most of these are the manufacturers' most recent locomotive releases and do not require the QSI Upgrade Chip for upgrading the sound files. The Quantum Programmer can be used. If you do not have access to the Quantum Programmer, you can still purchase an Upgrade Chip. A complete list of all QSI equipped locomotives is available. On this list all "Production Release" software designations ending in an "s" require an Upgrade Chip, those that do not have the "s" can be upgraded using the Quantum Programmer.

Improved CV55.70.10 Headlight Dim Intensity so that this CV has immediate effect
if headlight is dim.
Added CV55.76.10 Mars Light Dim Intensity.

3-June-06
Fixed bug introduced 27-May-06: when headlight is dim and the reverse light is off,
and the headlight is turned off, the headlight becomes bright momentarily
before decreasing its intensity to off. This affects only 300-xv7-6-0s.

These q1a files will not work with Q1aPreview 1.0.0.5 or earlier Q1aPreview versions. Q1aPreview 1.0.0.6 is required for these Q1a files. Additional data was added to the Q1a file header to support the Quantum Programmer project.

Q1aPreview 1.0.0.6 will work with all earlier versions of Q1a files, but the previous versions of Q1aPreview will not work with these new Q1a files.

play during the transition from FWD/REV to NFF/NFR.

Fix a bug where in DCC, if the ditch lights are strobing with the horn and
a direction switch occurs or the loco goes into neutral, the ditch lights
state is not updated to conform to the new directional state.

Fixed bug:
When User Defined Speed Tables CV67-CV94 are used, and the speed step == 127, the locomotive's speed drops by approximately 50% from its speed at speed step 126. This bug does not occur when pre-defined speed tables are used or when a default linear speed table is used. This bug was introduced after v7-18-2s (11-Dec-06) so only v7-19-0s firmware is affected.

12-May-07

Fixed bug: With the 1st Generation EMD diesel releases, in extended shutdown there is a silent period after the 1st motor shuts down, then the 2nd motor shutdown plays with
the hatch open/close in the middle of this sequence. This affects all the 1st Generation EMD diesel releases since Tuesday, 20-Mar-07: v7-19-0s, v7-20-0s, v7-22-1s, v7-22-2s,
v7-23-0s, and v7-23-0.
