Locked Re: System Intereface Requirements
Bob, As you guessed, R/W is required at this time. That means the EB is not supported. Robin Becker Tucson, AZ http://home.earthlink.net/~n3ix/drgw.html

I didn't mention that I have an Empire Builder II. After reading Robin Beckers reply to the last message, I wonder if I'm screwed at this point? This simple project is getting out of hand. (G) I

Locked Re: New Install
Mike, The EB (DB150) does not provide readback of CVs and does not support a separate programming track. I think that currently DecoderPro supports Digitrax via the programming track of the Chief

Bob, Digitrax is soon releasing the lower cost DCS050 and this unit has a programming track. I am going to get one when they come out, probably June or July. Depending on their specs. (it's not

Group, I think Bob did some experiments with a DB150 (EB) and found that he could write but as we know the EB has no programming track so no read back capability. This is a type of system problem

I have a DB150 hooked up to my computer via a LocoBuffer. Before I found out that the DB150 can't read CVs I thought it wasn't working, however I am able to write CVs. Sure is much easier than

Locked Re: System Intereface Requirements
Sorry for the slow reply. The Empire Builder doesn't have the ability to read from decoders. There's nothing a PC can do about that, unfortunately. DecoderPro should still be able to program them,

Locked Re: New install of DecoderPro
Sorry for the slow reply. Perhaps you've got it working, at least for write operations now? If not, there are a couple things you can check to help track down the trouble. First, see if basic

Locked Re: System Intereface Requirements
Bob, When using an EB (I have a DCS100 not a BD150) you would have the problem of not knowing the initial decoder settings, so does DecoderPro set all the CV's to a particular value (0 ?) when you

Each CV has a default value specified for it by the writer of the decoder specification. Some default to zero while other CVs have defaults configured to be the same as the defaults the factory

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
