I used to have this setup on a previous computer and for the life of me, I cannot remember how I made this work:

I use PR3 to interface Loconet.

I use Dropbox to maintain my roster and profile.

1) My previous computer ran PR3 with my command station POM and operations with PanelPro.

2) It also ran PR3 as standalone directly to the programming track when DecoderPro was fired up.

I use DecoderPro only when setting up a new locomotive decoder, so rarely used (until now, of course).

?

Now I find that I need to reconfigure when I switch between DecoderPro and PanelPro and back.

How did I have the previous computer setup?

Memory goes out the window with age (isn't that a great excuse?).

Ken,

You need two profiles in Preferences -> ConfigProfiles, one for the PR3 layout connection and one for the PR3 direct programming track connection. ?Preferences -> File Locations for each has the same User Files Location.

Start PanelPro, go to Preferences -> ConfigProfiles, select the layout connection and click on the Activate button. ?Do a Save and restart. ? ?Quit PanelPro.

Repeat for DecoderPro.

Thanks Dave.

Sometimes I think I've lost it.
