Test version 4.9.2 of JMRI/DecoderPro is available for download.

This is the next in a series of test releases that will culminate in a production release, hopefully in December 2017.

There have been a lot of updates in this version, so it should be considered experimental.

If you use JMRI on Linux or Mac and are updating from an earlier version, there¡¯s a necessary migration step. (Not needed on Windows) Please see the release note for details: <>

For more information on the issues, new features and bug fixes in 4.9.2 please see the release note:

I believe there are two ways to do this.

One is to right click on the function button in the throttle, and change the lockable property. On systems ( such as Lenz ) that allow momentary/continuous statIs to be configured for each address, doing this allows all throttles to know about the status.

The other method uses the Function labels tab in the roster. This will actually trigger the throttle configuration mentioned above , if you open a throttle with the roster entry. See:

Highlight the roster entry in the main window and click on "Media and Labels". Then check the Locked box next to F2.

Terry,

Just because you don't think you made any configuration changes does not
mean that some may have happened.

So that's why we wanted to get a check of the configuration. So as you say,
the connection should be:

System Manufacturer: Digitrax

System Connection: LocoNet LocoBuffer-II

Serial Port: (some COM device)

Command Station Type: DCS50 (Zephyr)

Next would be seeing the console log file to detect errors. I expect we will
see an error given what you say isn't happening.

Bill,

The PR3 can be used as a stand-alone programmer, in which case it is NOT connected to ANY command station.

However, to reiterate what Walt said, it is NOT capable of interfacing with any MRC system.

At the very least, Digitrax and MRC use different communication protocols, and at the worst you may end up damaging one or both units due to incompatible electrical characteristics.

I thought I saw a place to hook up the MRC to the pr3 . If used this way the power supply in the prc would be isolated from the MRC.

Well Bob and Ken if you missed it I said I made NO CHANGES to the configuration file for years
It's been the same all I did is down load and install ver 4.8
The Zephyr uses a USB loco buffer ll for communication there is no pr3 involved
According to Marc this some times happens

I've been looking at this over the last couple of days, and the only way
I have been able to replicate what you are seeing is by connecting a
Roco Z21 command station to the LIUSB-Ethernet.

Connecting a version 3.6 LZV100 caused no issues.

Can you tell me a little more about your setup?
What command station are you using?
What software version is the command station?
What else is connected to the command station?
Have you tried your LIUSB-Ethernet with it being the only thing plugged
into the command station?
What version of MacOS X do you have installed?

Thanks,
Paul

Locked Re: Slot monitor is blank

 

Terry,

I find your response very disappointing. Whenever you have an issue you only supply minimal information and when ask for more you don't provide anything or give a response like you just did. So you're just wasting everyone time.

I can't test the slot monitor because I am only using a simulated connection which shows an expected blank slot monitor but I am sure that Walt has already checked and the slot monitor is working on his system.

As for the WOW decoders, Gerry Hopkins has tested the resets in the definitions and they WORK. The issue is STILL probably your Powerpax since blast mode on your Zephyr works.

Unless you're willing to put a little effort into troubleshooting YOUR issues then you are wasting everyone's time.

Terry: to find out what is causing the problem you are seeing i developers would need to know how you have things set up. If you do not want to give that information on how things are set up what is going wrong can not be found.
