Locked When reading sheets, incorrect setting values are returned

?
When I call up a known decoder and attempt to read the setting values on any sheet, the value 123 is returned in all cases, with the loco address as 15227!
?
If I create a new loco, and then read the individual sheets, they are read correctly, but as soon as I save the new loco, and then recall the decoder and attempt to read it, the above recurrs.
?
I have had no issues with my setup before, but today this is happening with any number of decoders.
?
My setup is a Digitrax DCS100, Locobuffer II, and a Powerpax.
?
Any help will be appreciated,
?

Robin,

2 things:

Make sure all of your preferences are NOT set to Internal.

What version of JMRI are you using. You should be at 4.12 at least

Robin,

That is a clear sign you need to go to Edit->Preferences->Defaults, and
change the selections to LocoNet from Internal. Then save and restart. That
should take care of it. Some versions tend to change the Defaults way too
easily by itself. The latest code avoids a few of the reasons. But starting
a profile without having the hardware connected is one of the simplest ways
to have the Defaults change. If you need to work without the layout
connected, make a separate profile that uses Simulator connection for your
LocoNet.

Hi John & Ken,

Thank you for your responses - after a further few hours of checking connections and re-reading the sheets to no avail, I noticed "internal" and changed it to Loconet and the problem was solves. Nevertheless, thank you both for your appreciated responses.

By the way what is "internal" used for - it seems to be a new addition to JMRI. I am using version 4.13.2
