 ===== Power for CAN-GC3 programming track=====
 The standard 12V, coming from CAN-GC1e , is used for programming track as well.\\
-Allthough other programmers often also work with no more that 12V, \\
+It should be adjusted before  connecting other CAN devices.\\
+Though many programmers often also work with no more that 12V, \\
 it seems that some decoders have a bit of a problem with that.\\
 To solve that, a higher Voltage will be the solution.\\
-For this reason, the VR1 regulator on CAN-GC1e can be swapped with a LM2576T-adj type.\\
+The Pot1 regulator on CAN-GC1e can be set to max 18V, but I advise not to that if not need.e.\\
-Pot1 on CAN-GC1e is already there and in that case can be used for adjusting the output between 12,5V and 18,5V.\\
+With 18V all connected CAN devices will have to radiate more heat, which is not adviceable for energy reasons/\\
-CAN-GC1e will be equipped with the mentioned regulator from this day on.\\
+Without these programming needs, the voltage can be reduced to 10V minimum, making it all more energy economic.\\
+Voltage can be measured at the pins +12V and GND on J5.\\
