YES a BIG help indeed.? THANK YOU and I will do as you suggest.? THANK YOU.

Howdy Cliff.? I was merely renaming several memory variables in the table (under tools) using the JMRI right-click "Rename" function.? It almost worked.? In already defined Logix, all the changes I made in the Memory Table were updated for the subject, but not the predicate of the Logix action of copy memory to memory.

The reason I found this was that I was fixing an old Control Panel. I had made that CP to update a Layout Editor panel (showing the layout) of the train numbers that were in each section. Unfortunately, several of the train numbers that I was displaying on the Layout needed to be updated to reflect train changes (new train numbers) in our operations.? Train 49 was split into 47/48 and train 50 was split into 51/52 when they went through a junction and changed direction (Northbound even, Southbound odd).? That Control Panel also logged the time from the Fast Clock into memory variables on a different Control Panel (for the Dispatcher's records) when a train originated, OS'd at a station, or terminated. So, with three panels displayed (a Layout Panel on the overhead big screen TV with a graphical representation of the layout, with occupancy colors on the track and memory variables displayed for the train in that section, a Control Panel with all trains listed and highlighted while active with memory variables for time stamps, and a Control Panel for the Station Operator with the trains listed and highlighted while active with buttons for "move to next" which would update the big screen and the Dispatcher panel).? Whew...so much talking...sorry.? But if anyone is interested, I could post that xml file in the files section (used with LocoNet Simulator).

Anyway, I was happy that most of the name changes from the table renaming (user name only) feature actually worked as expected.? I did not know if what I found is unexpected or not, but personally, I was surprised that the name changes did not propagate throughout the Logix actions.

Yes...I am using a windows 7 laptop computer (locobuffer-usb) and my DCC system is Digitrax ....sorry about the confusion

QUESTION:? The CV's listed on this initial set up of CV's, in

I believe in most decoders they are (as far as the JMRI people knew when
they wrote the definition).

The exception - you guessed it - are sound decoders... (I definitely
know that about LokSound and Digitrax sound decoders)

That's because the default settings (and also the meaning) of some of
the CVs depend on the sound scheme loaded on the decoder. What might be
"steam chuff rate" on a steam sound scheme could be "turbo whine on/off"
on an SD40-2 diesel scheme or "idle sound timeout" on a GP20 or not
exist at all on an F7 scheme.

Is this correct?? Should I do a READ of all CV's of this new locomotive
first to make sure the CV values in the DecoderPro are the same as what
is in the decoder before I make my changes?

Yes, do a "Read all CVs" on a new loco. And since there is a glitch in
JMRI when doing "Read all sheets", please do "Read full sheet" on the
"All CVs"-pane. There will probably still be some read errors, so repeat
"Read changes on sheet" until there aren't any left.

Hope this helps and good luck,
Heiko

Phil,

What problem are you trying to solve?

Dynamically changing the name of a memory location is a big NO-NO in software. Something akin to pulling a rug out from under your own feet.

You must have a reason for doing what you describe, but there must also be safer alternative methods available too.

I am trying to add a new Atlas GP-7 locomotive to my DecoderPro roster so I can set the decoder address and other things the way I want them.

First I go to NEW Locomotive and select ESU as decoder manufacturer ? Then I click on that and go thru the menu of decoders until I find "LokSound Select".. I select that and I have a new entry that I can use to program my new locomotive.

QUESTION:? The CV's listed on this initial set up of CV's, in DecoderPro, are those values? the same as Factory Reset values?

I placed my new locomotive on the programming track and attempted a COMPARE.? I found many instances where the CV entry in the decoder did not match the entry in the same CV in the DecoderPro software.

Is this correct?? Should I do a READ of all CV's of this new locomotive first to make sure the CV values in the DecoderPro are the same as what is in the decoder before I make my changes?

I assumed a new locomotive would have the same values in the CV's as what is called a factory reset in DecoderPro, am I doing something wrong?

A lot of people have worked very hard to set all of this up, I do not want to mess anything up.? THANK YOU......Frank

Have Fun....Frank....

Using 4.16, if the user name of a memory variable is changed (renamed), in Logix, a copy memory to memory action is not fully updated with the new name.? The subject memory variable is updated, but the predicate (copied to) memory variable still has the old (now unused) user name.

For example, if I have memory variables "Two" and "Three", and have a Logix action defined to copy the contents of Two to Three, it works when triggered.? However, if I rename "Two" to "Too" and rename "Three" to "Third", the Logix action will be updated to [ On Change to True, Copy Memory to Memory, "Too" to Three ] (instead of Too to Third).? Of course when triggered, Logix fails because there is no memory variable "Three" anymore.

Is this a known issue?? Should I put an issue on GitHub?? Thanks for any help or thoughts.

folks, thanks for the explanation. Your assistance and advice is appreciated .

That explains the problem. Would using Decoder lock ( cv15&16 ) prevent this?

Hi ...sorry....I did not explain my self very well, the Computer data...Digitrax engine numbers, speed table and CV settings. THANK YOU.....

I came to the group a couple months ago with a problem of slow response on my JMRI Panel. ?I had updated my operating system (mac) and things had slowed down. ?Someone had suggested that my USB serial cable might have been the problem. ?I pushed back on that because it had worked so well for years. ?Well, I purchased a new one from RR-CirKits and the slowness has gone. ?My apologies for poo pooing the idea that I needed a new serial cable. ?So just as I had done a software update, it seemed I also needed a hardware update. ?

Frank,

Do you mean the Operations data or the loco (decoder) roster data? Makes a
difference in which files/directories you need and which have tools to make
the export/import simpler.

Hello. For several months I have been programming my locomotives on my friends computer. I just got a new computer and have loaded JMRI on it. I can easily reach the new (but with blank data) DecoderPro screen on this new computer.?
QUESTION. How do I move the decoder data from my friends computer to this new one? ?Do I copy all the files in the operations folder and use them as a replacement for the operations files I just downloaded from JMRI??

I easily find a folder for operations but cannot find one titled DecoderPro. What folder would this data be in??
THANK YOU. Frank in Katy.?

Mike H,

You said " images are all contained in the Roster directory with the
roster.xml file", that would not be right. The roster.xml file is one layer
up from the roster directory. I presume you typed wrong, but if not, this is
a sign of possible problems. It is suggested that when sharing a roster
directory between multiple profiles it is better that directory is not
within a profile. This is more a safety in case you move or remove a profile
later.

Thanks, but I went through all of that. The roster images are all contained in the Roster directory with the roster.xml file. ?I went through all of my 4 profiles to make sure that in Settings they were all pointing to the correct User File location and Roster location. I have Resource directories in each Profile directory, but they’re all empty.?
I have no idea what’s going on, but since I appear to be the only one having this problem I’m guessing it’s something in my system. I do a backup before doing an upgrade. During the upgrade process is the roster.xml file recreated, and could that somehow be breaking the link to the images?

Are you using a Digitrax PR3 or PR4 to do the programming? If so, see





where it talks about how those use CV128
