Re: decoder id and naming confusions
Michael,
Thanks. I don't see a DN140 in the DecoderPro set at this point.
For reference, can you point me to where on the Digitrax site this is all

Re: decoder id and naming confusions
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

Re: System Intereface Requirements
Each CV has a default value specified for it by the writer of the decoder

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

Re: New install of DecoderPro
Sorry for the slow reply. Perhaps you've got it working, at least for write operations now?

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,
