Test version 4.9.2 of JMRI/DecoderPro is available for download
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: <> Note that JMRI is made available under the GNU General Public License. For more information, please see our copyright and licensing page. <> The download links, along with lots of other information which we hope you'll read, can be found on the release note page: <> -- Bob Jacobsen jacobsen@... +1-510-708-5988 AIM, Skype JacobsenRG |

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: Paul |

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

Re: Roco Zimo decoder question
AH, thank you.
That is what I need for programming. Now, how to turn F2 to be latching, not momentary for this roster entry. Any clues where to set this? (I saw this years ago, but cannot find it now.) Guess I will need to read the new JMRI manual. Thanks, Thomas DeSoto, TX |

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. ---In jmriusers@..., <sharpy1933@...> wrote : Thanks, Walt. I just read up on it and it looks like a stand alone instrument for adjusting the decoders, to be used on a test track without the MRC connected. Use it on the test track. Do what has to be done and then check it on the regular layout. I have the knowledge to have the test track connect and disconnect to the rest of the layout. Let me know if I am not right. 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. Bill |

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?

PR3 as Standalone programmer doesn¡¯t have a command station. (Neither does PR3 as Stand-alone Loconet, but the OP referred to programming a decoder)

Re: Slot monitor is blank
Terry,
The one thing about this story that bugs me is how the slot monitor could not be working while other tasks using JMRI are working. Have you done the 'Help->Upload Debugging Info' step so we can see your exact configuration and log file from when you try opening JMRI and then invoking the slot monitor?? From your descriptions I expect the log files will point to something and the configuration data would let us confirm that everything is set correctly. -Ken Cameron, Member JMRI Dev Team www.jmri.org www.fingerlakeslivesteamers.org www.cnymod.com www.syracusemodelrr.org |

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. Moderator Peter U. |

Re: Slot monitor is blank
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.
