Locked Re: Car Weights #operationspro

 

Thanks Dan,
That's exactly what I wanted to know.?

1) I assume that when entering weight for a car you would enter the fully loaded weight?
2) I usually enter the car's n-scale weight, so a 50ft boxcar is about 1.1 ounces, which OperationsPro then calculates to 85 tons, but the printed loaded weight for the car is 120,000 lbs, which is only 60 tons.? If I want the weights to be a bit more realistic, should I not use the 'calculate" and just enter the weights?

Thanks again,
Larry
Locked Re: Car Weights #operationspro

 

Larry,

A train's manifest shows the weight of the entire train.? The program provides an estimated loaded weight based on car length.? You can override this and enter your own loaded weight for any car.? When a car is empty, the program uses 1/3 of the loaded weight as the car's empty weight.? A fully loaded train will require more HP, and the program should assign the appropriate number of engines as need based on train weight and grades.? You need to use the HPT feature for this to work.



Here's an example from operations of a loaded train:

Train departs Hartford Eastbound with 9 cars, 392 feet, 680 tons

And the same train where all of the cars are empty:

  1. Stop JMRI if it is running.

  3. Start PanelPro. ?You will be prompted to configure the LocoNet connection.

Not that I am an expert but it would appear by the internal that your profile settings are not correct. It is set to internal not a DCC system.?

Also while COM3 may have been used before, best check device manager to see what the PC thinks is the COM.?

(f) I have copied all the files from the User Files Location on the XP. Note that these were so old that they did NOT have insensitive path coding!
(g) I have edited the paths to the current locations.
(h) I have NO loco roster -- I am not using throttles. I don't see a roster on the XP computer
(i) JMRI tell me that the "default preferences are invalid" -- but all I want is the connection to the Digitrax DCS51. Do I need other options?
(j) Note that my control of the static decoders is via the track. Loconet exists ONLY between the PR3 and the DCS51.

You don't need to know how to program indexed CVs when using DecoderPro. There are a number of different ways (depending on manufacturer) and DecoderPro is set up to automatically do this provided you use Read Type From Decoder to pick the correct decoder definition.

You will not see any difference in most panes but the CVs pane will contain CV names like "CV16.3.428" (e.g. ESU) or "CV51.1.4" (e.g. QSI). JMRI handles all the index setting behind the scenes.

It's not recommended to attempt Indexed CV programming using the Single CV Programmer. To so so is very error prone...

I have PanelPro running on an old PC with Windows XP and an MS100 connector to my DCS51 Zephyr controller. To operate my turnouts I just click the mouse on the turnout in the displayed panel. All works well.

Fine. You need to note three main things on the XP machine:
- The Connection Prefix of your MS100 connection (it's most likely "L").
- Find and open the "User Files Location" (from Help-Locations).
- Whether Help-Startup contains any "Open File" actions, and if so, the name of the file(s). They are almost certain to be in "User Files Location", which means the actual path doesn't matter.

Now I am trying to migrate the system to a laptop running Windows 7, and for the laptop I have to use a PR3 USB decoder/programmer. I set up a new version of JMRI on the laptop

That is the correct thing to do, install JMRI. But please read on....

and I have copied all the JMRI files I can find from the Programs folder and the User Applications folder,

Do not do either of those things. That's where thing are going wrong.

Instead you need to start with a clean install of JMRI and do the following:

- Set up a single connection to the PR3 with the same Connection Prefix as your old MS100 connection on XP (it's probably "L").
- Find and open the "User Files Location" (from Help-Locations).
- Quit JMRI and copy all files from?the "User Files Location" on your XP to?the "User Files Location" on the new machine. (All files in User Files Location use special coding to make them insensitive to path differences between computers).
- Start JMRI and see if your loco (decoder) roster appears.
- If not, try the Rebuild Roster Index command and wait until a "Roster Rebuilt" message appears in the JMRI System Console (under the Help menu). Don't use the?Rebuild Decoder Index command, it's the wrong thing to do.
- If still no roster, quit and restart JMRI.

Once your roster is restored:
- Use Help-Startup to add back any?any "Open File" actions you had on XP. Again, they are almost certain to be in?"User Files Location", which means the actual path doesn't matter and that they have already been transferred in an earlier step above.
- Next time you start JMRI your Turnout Table should populate correctly.

The following two help pages may help you understand what you need to do and where files are:

I have it up and running and have even worked out how to connect JMRi to it via the USB cable.? I will look at LAN stuff later.? However on starting JMRi panel pro I get a load of errors and the turnout table is empty.? I have worked out that they seem to be associated with the NCE system.

John,

"LT1 needed IT followed by a suffix". Any idea what this means?

That says it tried to read the file, but you haven't created the LocoNet
connection yet. So it doesn't know what 'LT' means and expects to make
internal things so the 'IT' it does know. Add the connection first.

John,

The JMRI directory under the user account is what needs to move. At least
almost all the time. If you had customized anything in the \Program
Files\JMRI, then we'd need to correct that stuff too. But that is very
seldom somebody put something in there.

There is a correct way to have files that override the installed files, but
we'll first figure out if that's what is needed later.

So clear out the old JMRI install and parts. So do the program uninstall,
then make sure \Program Files (x86)\JMRI is gone. Then make sure
\users\your_user_name\JMRI is gone.

Do the install of JMRI 4.12. Then copy the \Documents and
Settings\your_user_name\JMRI to the \users\your_user_name\JMRI on this new
box. Make sure you don't end up with the wrong levels like
\users\your_user_name\JMRI\JMRI, one JMRI is enough.

Run with it. Report your errors. Likely you should copy/paste the whole
Help->System Console, put in the email and we'll figure it out. After any
corrections there, then we can move to the current version.

Hi again,

I upgraded to JMRI 4.16, and PanelPro seems to be trying to read the xml file in My_JMRI_Railroad.jmri, but I get a strange error:

"LT1 needed IT followed by a suffix". Any idea what this means?
