?

On my program set up at home when I read a decoder I use the "Advanced" Format. I have a pane "Function Labels" which allows me to change the description of what the function controls when I move functions such as F7 and F11 so that the throttle has the correct labels for the functions. On two other systems i use I can not find a way to select "advanced" therefore no "Function Label" pane. I could find no way to change the labels on the throttle and make it save those changes. After changing and saving then closing the throttle it would reopen back to the prior default settings. Any comments ?? Thanks, Rick.

Found a similar situation at the club with a 12 volt 125ma power supply

??? This might be a typo but the SPROG supply should be 1.25 amp!

The info has not been released by Soundtraxx yet for TSU2 equipped F45s.
They have info on Genesis locos here:

but the F45 not yet listed AND those files don't have everything needed to create a decoder definition.? For Tsunami2 and Econami decoders, JMRI needs the value of CV253 and 256 (read only values in the decoder); 253 is always 3 for Genesis & Athearn locos but 256 is unique for each model and the definition need that number for the identification routine to work.? I've been waiting for a few months now to get info from Soundtraxx but with their trade up program, new decoder models released and recent NMRA show they've been busy.

Now you can use other Genesis TSU2 definitions, the default values are not going to match what's in the loco so you'll have to read everything before making changes.? Another thing that might not match will be enumerated lists of sound choices, but so far the Genesis lists have been fairly consisted between models with same prime mover type, since F45 has 645, pick one that also has 645 (like a GP40-2) and probably the sound choices will be OK.

Hi, i am trying to help a friend, over the phone!, with his Athearn Genesis F45 with TSU2. The basic problem is this engine is not listed in the choices when reading the loc with decoder pro. The F45 and FP45 are listed in the TSU1 but some of the CV's have been changed with different options in the TSU2. ?I was using GP38-2 as a stand in but this became problematical also. Is there any chance that the F45 could be added to the list? ?Thanks to Michael Mosher I could get the new file on the WOWV3and 4 diesel, download and install into the current version of decoder pro. Thanks Again, Rick.

Jay,

Just to keep things straight in my own mind, you are not using Layout Editor based Entry/Exit nor Control Panel Editor based NX Warrants. ?You are using Entry/Exit concepts to map sensor actions to Dispatcher Transits. ?Very interesting.

So to directly answer your questions: NX paths - it uses transits, sections, blocks, signal mast logic, and all the code of Dispatcher.? One of the 'tricks' is to determine from the N click and the X click on the layout editor panal which transit to use and what portion of that transit to use. One change I made to JMRI which is now part of the standard distribution was to be able allocate all the way from the start block to the end block. This is necessary for the NX allocation to 'make sense'.
