This is probably a really dumb question.....

I need some extra outputs for signals and so I need to buy some additional signal decoders. So I was reading the user manual for the YD8116. I was under the impression that the 8116 was a 16 output device. The manual says that to configure the turnout addresses you press the button and send it a signal from the central unit switching the first desired output address for the 8116, and the 8116 assigns that address and the next seven addresses consecutively. That's ok, but what about the other 8 addresses? Or, do I need to program the 8116 vie the ES-Link system so that all 16 can be set with an address? The example shown in the manual states that to use the ES-Link system we need to go via another module to use the ES-Link system. This would mean I would need to purchase a module I don't need on my railway just to carry out the programming!!

All I want to do is use all 16 outputs of the module with seperate addresses for each output, with fade on and off.

My central unit is a DR5000 / YD7001. My signals are currently driven with several DR4018.
