+Default, is the default mobile digital protocol used by the Command Station (CS).
 This setting is only of interest in case of multi protocol CS like Ecos/CSx(dcc/mfx).
 For a "DCC only" CS this option has no effect at all.

+====Interval====
+This option is not active and greyed out by default. It can be used for old-fashioned decoders offering no regulation and mass simulation.
+  * Regulated (see below) has to be deactivated in order to enable Interval.
+The Interval merges in a pause between the decoder steps with a value of 1 corresponding to 100ms. With modern decoders this parameter is not needed and should be left to zero. \\
+> **Tip:** The Interval can be used to increase the deceleration / acceleration for decoders with a very limited tuning range. Some older Marklin locos with control potentiometers suffer from this limitation. Small interval values, e. g. in the range of 1 to 5, may help in this case. It should be noted that no other locos in need of automatic speed control at inclines (see **Regulated** below) are present on the layout and that in all blocks the type of incline should be set to "none".
+====Regulated====
+| SBT will be disabled in case this option is __not__ set. |\\
+If the decoder has motor management (BEMF) this flag should be set to prevent velocity changes by Rocrail when a locomotive enter a block defined as an incline block. \\
+Deactivating this option activates **Interval** (see above) and automatic speed control at inclines. \\
+> **Note:** Rocrail is able to adjust the speed at inclines within certain limits in auto mode. The type of incline has to be specified in the block properties.
+The following table gives hints on the impact of the parameters. It is supposed that the **[[#v_modus|V_Mode-Percent-Option]]** is __not__ set and **km/h** is applicable.

+\\
+**Hint:** At interval = **10** the number of steps = time in seconds. \\
+Higher values for **Interval** and/or **Decelerate** reduce the amount of necessary steps respectively speed commands.\\
+This can help to avoid the above mentionned overload of the command station.
+**Example:** At Interval = 5 and Decelerate = 5 the speed is reduced from 100 km/h to 10 km/h in 9 seconds with 18 steps respectively commands.\\
+At Interval = 10 and Decelerate = 10 the reduction takes also place in 9 seconds, but with only 9 steps respectively commands.\\
+> **Hint:** The speed steps are not visible in the throttle, but only in the trace or on the real layout.
