Why would you need to program using a throttle or Z21 app if you have DecoderPro? The key to understanding JMRI is that if you're using POM, JMRI is storing the changes in the roster file, so if you go and change something with a throttle, JMRI doesn't know you changed it, and you'd have to read the locomotive back in on the programming track. So better to just use JMRI and let it keep track of changes.
I'd suggest that you get a book about DCC and learn the basics of DCC, decoders, CVs, parts of the?system, how data flows through the system, etc.

Novice here.? So programming the decoder with DecoderPro totally completes the job?? I would not need to go through decoder programing in YD7010 or in the Z21 app?? If so, eliminates redundant entry and eases decoder programming for the more complex ESU sound decoders.? Thank you!
