PanelPro Startup

 

Hi,
?
I am using PanelPro wirh MERG and a SPROG and everything is great,
?
But I want to build the Panel and develop scripts without the MERG hardware and SPROG connected, and PanelPro will not open the panel unless the hardware is present.
?
Is there a way to be able to do that ?
?
Many thanks
?
Dave

Try using a separate profile using a simulator connection, but using the same file location.

Then you can use your exisiting panel file to experiment with using the new profile, but any modified file will be available using the "normal" profile.

That is how I do it.

Thank you, that sounds like just what I need, but I have no idea how to create or use profiles.
Can anyone point me in the right direction?
 

David,

Look at?

Hi,
?
Thank you for that, I can see that I can create a new profile, but how do I share the same panel, with one for a MERG & Sprog connection and the other for no connection for simulation ?

Start JMRI under the new profile just created.

FRom the start screen,go "Edit>Preferences"

Choose "File Locations" from the list on the left (3rd down)

The top right boxes should then have the locations relating to the new profile, so click "set" and then from the "Select Directory" box use the navigation up and down to find the directory relating to your original profile.

Click that and it should appear in the box.

Then Save (Bottom left) and restart.

You should then be able to access your "Old" panel through the "New" profile.
