Locked CVP's AD4 Decoder

Bob,

I've had an opportunity to test functionality of the AD4 file.
Programming via a Digitrax DB150, readback via PR-1. Values are sent
as expected. In reviewing the fle, I've noticed a few that
programming is permitted via paged mode. This needs to be changed as
the AD4 doesn't support such.

Trusting that it's okay with you and the readers of this NG, I'm
going to tinker around with the XML file to see if I can't format the
display a little better. For example,; indication of time in 1/10
seconds when setting a pulsed signal. Should be able to review and
respond on htis by Saturday.

BTW, the newly added Log Curve on the speed table is awsome.

Bob

Thanks for checking!

Which modes work for it? I couldn't tell from the manual.

Sounds great, thanks.

All of the formatting is in the "pane" section at the bottom of the "CVProducts_AD4.xml" file. Eventually, some of that should move to the programmer files, so that its common across multiple stationary decoders, but since we've just got the one now I put it all in the single file.

Once I got my head screwed on straight I tested my AD4's. Little things
like "Direct Mode only" and removing the jumper help<G>. As mine are for
slow motion machines I don't have the pulse part on my boards. Programming
seems to be fine. I didn't test the flash rate part.
There is a manufactures ID and version number for AD4's CV's 519 (7) and
520(8). CV8 works just fine and identifies my unit as CVP products but CV7
doesn't pick up my revision of 62. I guess we would have to check with CVP
to determine the revision numbers associated with the AD4's, which I will do
sometime today. Bob (Black Bart) as you are playing with the AD4 file I
will get the information to you as some as I can!

John,

Information found in the AD4 Accessory Decoder Manual [See page 5,
Accessory Decoder CV's, CV 519 (7)]indicates software versions 4, 5
and 6 have shipped since the manual was printed in 1999. What
version number do you read via CV7?

Mine is revision 62. I see the data. The 4, 5, and 6 are probably
major revisions and the second digit are minor revisions. Just a guess
until I hear from Keith. Will put a note on the Yahoo site and see what
comes for an answer.
I know it says to be compatible with the Chief it needs to be 5.0 or
greater.
