<h4>Getting Started on a decoder definition</h4>
|
|
|
|
<p>In this part of the manual we will introduce you to the process of creating a file to
|
|
describe a new decoder. You might benefit from reading the other sections of the DecoderPro
|
|
user guide to get background information, especially the XML introduction <a href=
|
|
"https://jmri.org/help/en/html/doc/Technical/XmlUsage.shtml" target="_blank">Intro to XML
|
|
files</a> and the section on what the configuration files contain <a href=
|
|
"https://jmri.org/xml/DTD/" target="_blank">Configuration files</a> .</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>The easiest way to create a configuration file is to modify an existing one, so that you
|
|
can follow the format. The decoder definition is configured per the <a href=
|
|
"https://jmri.org/xml/DTD/" target="_blank">decoder-config.dtd.</a> (most of you will not be
|
|
interested in this dtd, if you are open in a text editor).</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>To get started, locate a decoder definition XML file that is close to the new decoder that
|
|
you would like to define. . If you don't know what is "close", well don't sweat it. Let's
|
|
just move on to looking at a definition file and you'll get a feel about what we're talking
|
|
about.</p>
