Tooooons,

What version of JMRI are you on? ?My guess it is to old to have the DCS240. My club uses a 240 and it is in the selection.?

And Loksound taking a long time is normal in my opinion given its complexity. Though later versions do better.?

?
I have the latest JMRI installed on a Windows 10 64bit system, brand new USB cable, new Digitrax DCS240, and less than two feet of wire to the programming track.

It takes like 25-30 minutes to "read all sheets" from a LokSound Select decoder-equipped locomotive.? We're not talking a 50GB download at 1.5Mb connection.? Small amount of data being retrieved, but it takes way too long.? Am I doing something wrong, or is this just how fast the Digitrax processor can work??

While attention is here, how come it is so confusing to set JMRI preferences with the DCS 240?? The latest digitrax system JMRI offers in the selection list is DCS200.? DCS240 has been around for a few years.? Why not include it??? I understand the DCS240 has an integrated PR3 or PR4, but it would be a lot easier just to select the system I have when selecting the system I have.? Kind of frustrating.

Thanks for your thoughts!!? I am not normally grumpy.
