Locked New and need help
¿ªÔÆÌåÓýSeveral years ago I tried to use Decoder Pro and had a very hard time due to very little step by step instructions.? A few years ago I tried again with an updated version 2.8.? This time it was a little better because of a download user manual.? I just purchased a new set of engines for Christmas tree train, and couldn¡¯t get 2.8 to read the SoundTraxx decoder in a new Walthers Mainline F7 A-B. ??I figured they were new and Decoder Pro wasn¡¯t up to date.? I downloaded the new and improved for beginners and that ( pardon if I step on someone's toes)? a joke.? All I need is step by step instructions on how to read and change CV settings on the new engine.? Why isn¡¯t there written instructions, and if there are, Where can I find them?? ? Thank You for your time, in advance, Tom Van Horn? (70+) Digitrax ?and windows 7 user ? ? |

Messrs Van Horn and Garnhart,?
I am by no means an expert, but, I've been using JMRI since its infancy, and I, and I'm sure many others on this list, are happy to help.? Documentation on DecoderPro is .? In order to be able to offer assistance, please tell us a bit about your DCC/computer setup.?? e.g.?? - what DCC system are you using? - what interface are you using between your computer and your DCC system?? - what operating system is on your computer (I see that Mr. Garnhart has Windows 10, as do I) - what version of JMRI (Decoder Pro) are you using (click on 'Help' -> 'About') ?? Help us help you, and we'll all benefit.? Chris |
