Locked BUILDING A ROSTER


Gordon Garnhart
 

Hi,
? ? I am just a beginner. ?I am running DecoderPro3.10.1-r28327 on a laptop WindowsXP platform.
????I have three engines in my roster. ?I thought I had this software figured out. ?But when I went to add a fourth locomotive, I got no response.
? ? When I, from the DecoderPro window, Click on "Roster" and select "Create Entry", I get the New Roster Setup window, I click on Digitrax, then switch to the Roster: All Entries window. ?I click on "New Loco" which takes me to the Create New Loco window, which looks like the New Roster Setup window. ?Again, I click on Digitrax but when I return to the Roster: All Entries window, it is unchanged.
? ? What am I doing wrong?
? ? ? ? Gordon

OK Jerry,
Once you put the engine on the programming track, you hit new engine.
You can hit "Read type from the decoder"
If it reads ok, move to the next step.
If not, select from list on the left side.
Then you select the right decoder, then you hit open ????? programmer.
That is when you input the information in the 1st tab on the engine.
I hope that clears this up for you!!

Gordon,

Jay's advice is correct but I'm sorry to have to inform you that DecoderPro V3.10 is incapable of correctly:
- Reading Type from Decoder for any modern decoder.
- Programming any modern decoders (ESU, TCS WOW, Econami, TSU2, etc.) correctly without causing corruption.

The good news is that, despite advice to the contrary, it is possible to install Java 8 and hence run the very latest V4.x.x JMRI on Windows XP. The special instructions for installing Java 8 on XP are to be found on this page:
