Locked Re: Signal heads losing SSL during power down and up

Dave,

I have been using both panel save and table save as panel save only mentions saving the panel while table save mentions panels and configurations. Just being careful. Several of the other, non-model railroad, control system packages I have used have separate saves for graphic displays and controller programming.

I have recreated the panel and will be trying again later today.

Cheers,

John

I don't have an answer to your specific problem, but your description ?of actions has issues.

"I saved the panel from the My Panel window and from the signal head tools/table window."

The panel save and table save are the same thing (the table save can optionally exclude panels).? The xml file in either case will contain panels AND table contents.? A panel is NOT a document.? One xml file can have any number of panels.

When you load the xml file after starting PanelPro (or automatically as a start up action), look for errors in the system console (Help >> System Console).

Subject: [jmriusers] Signal heads losing SSL during power down and up
Date: Saturday, February 01, 2020 5:56 PM

Just finished creating and placing signal heads for 10 turnouts, complete with very basic SSL for each head. All turnouts were working properly from the panel and the heads were responding appropriately. I saved the panel from the My Panel window and from the signal head tools/table window. I powered the system down and then returned about 4 hours later and powered up. The signal heads for one turnout were completely missing from the panel and the signal heads for five of the turnouts had lost their respective SSL; the fields in the SSL window for these five turnouts were completely blank.

Every time I power the system I get different results. This current situation is the most annoying due to the work involved. But sometimes the two SE8C boards being used for occ sensors will not boot properly; sometimes the turnouts will not respond to mouse clicks on the panel, and sometimes everything works fine.

I am using a PC with win 8, a Digitrax DCS52, LocoNet, two SE8Cs, and one Azatrax IR MRD8 board. I have tried a PC with win 7. I have tried both JMRI 14 and 18 on each of the PCs with similar results. I have tried using one SE8C instead of two. I have tried with and without the MRD8. The lack of consistantcy is very frustrating.

I must be missing something, but have yet to figure out what. Any ideas?

Thanks,

John
