The ZIMO MXULF (MX Update Laden Fahren) is more than just a simple decoder update device. Like a small digital system, it can perform the following tasks:

  • Loading new software versions (software update) from a USB stick into all types of ZIMO decoders (sound, non-sound, function and accessory decoders);
  • the vehicle with the decoder is located on the ‘update track’ or the decoder is connected to a test board.
  • Synchronous update for ZIMO accessory decoders of the MX820 and MX821 generations installed in the layout
  • Loading sound projects from a USB stick into ZIMO sound decoders, vehicle on the "update track"
  • Fast sound loading (approx. 2 - 3 min instead of 20 - 30 min) via the decoder's SUSI interface
  • Parallel sound loading of several decoders via SUSI interfaces
  • Driving mode & function switching for one address at a time via the MXULF controls (scroll wheel, 4 buttons, LEDs)
    for testing the edited vehicle
  • Programming and reading out the CVs of the connected decoder or vehicle
  • Writing and checking the loading code (CV #260, ...) for coded sound projects

All of the above tasks can also be controlled from a computer; in this case, a USB stick is not used, but all data (software update files, sound projects) is transferred via the USB interface (client). Programs such as ZSP (ZIMO), ZCS (Manhart), PfuSch (Sperrer), etc. are used on the computer.
