Re: Change the way we present decoder names?
Bob,
I think I suggested a similar approach that was simpler. The dropdown
decoder list just shows manufacturers, but then there are flyout menus for
each manufacturer that list the models. If

Change the way we present decoder names?
I don't have any real ideas about how to better identify decoders. I agree it's a mess, and will be happy to implement whatever you guys think is best.

Re: decoder id and naming confusions
Because with some manufactures CV7 isn't going to always tell much maybe
the DN14(x) concept would be good. The tabs (panes) for that group could
then be asterisked with the comment, "not all of

Re: decoder id and naming confusions
Ok, so how should the decoder name appear in the list when multiple decoders
have the same CV07 value?
My suggestion is that if the models have the same features, i.e. DN140,
DN144, DN145, DN146,

decoder sort order (was decoder id and naming confusions)
Jon,
You are correct, I missed the DN140 in the decoder list. This was certainly
operator error on my part, but that aside the sort order of the decoder list
is another thing I've been meaning to

NCE name inconsistency
Bob,
Jim Hanna found that IDENT didn't work for NCE decoder. Checking into this,
I found that the NCE name is used differently in the decoderIndex and the
decoder files. In decoderIndex.xml, it is

Robin,
In my version I have a DN140 and a couple of DN142's. Looks like a

Re: decoder id and naming confusions
Michael,
Thanks. I don't see a DN140 in the DecoderPro set at this point.
For reference, can you point me to where on the Digitrax site this is all
spelled out?

Re: decoder id and naming confusions
The DN-146A program wise is the same as a DN-140. The DN-142 has
transponding and back emf that the 146 and 140 do not have. Program wise
the DN-144K, 145K,146A,147A & 148K are like a DN-140. While

Re: System Intereface Requirements
