Re: NCE name inconsistency
Thanks for catching that! I've fixed the originals. That's an example of a "family" of decoders. Jim Scorse uses the same micro-code for his line of "Silent Running" decoders. They all contain the

Re: Change the way we present decoder names?
CV8 seems to be the most reliable data but I'm not sure what they do when a decoder is subcontracted like say Digitrax makes a decoder for Atlas or similar. One of the very large problems I see with

Re: Change the way we present decoder names?
'Family' seems like a rather confusing category. Dividing the list by manufacturer is a good idea. In other words, I agree with Robin. Mike

Re: Change the way we present decoder names?
Bob, I think I suggested a similar approach that was simpler. The dropdown decoder list just shows manufacturers, but then there are flyout menus for each manufacturer that list the models. If you

Change the way we present decoder names?
I don't have any real ideas about how to better identify decoders. I agree it's a mess, and will be happy to implement whatever you guys think is best. Mark Gurries made a suggestion a while back that

Re: decoder id and naming confusions
Because with some manufactures CV7 isn't going to always tell much maybe the DN14(x) concept would be good. The tabs (panes) for that group could then be asterisked with the comment, "not all of this

Re: decoder id and naming confusions
Ok, so how should the decoder name appear in the list when multiple decoders have the same CV07 value? My suggestion is that if the models have the same features, i.e. DN140, DN144, DN145, DN146,

decoder sort order (was decoder id and naming confusions)
Jon, You are correct, I missed the DN140 in the decoder list. This was certainly operator error on my part, but that aside the sort order of the decoder list is another thing I've been meaning to

NCE name inconsistency
Bob, Jim Hanna found that IDENT didn't work for NCE decoder. Checking into this, I found that the NCE name is used differently in the decoderIndex and the decoder files. In decoderIndex.xml, it is

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
