<p><strong>Command Monitor</strong>

</p>

<p>Opens the <a href="Main_Monitor_Window.shtml">Communications Monitor Window</a> and

that you want to send.</p>

<p><strong>DCC Packet Analyzer</strong>
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>The DCC packet analyzer entry is software to log data from a hardware device sold by NCE
|
|
which allows the user to observe the packets on the NCE Command Bus, or alternatively
|
|
directly from the track. The latter feature allows the device to look at track packets sent
|
|
from any Command Station that conforms to the NMRA standard (such as Digitrax or Lenz). The
|
|
input signal is interpreted and sent to JMRI through a serial interface. With it the user can
|
|
see speed and function instructions being sent from the Command Station to the decoder</p>
|
|
|
|
<p><strong><a id="Clock"></a>Monitor Clock</strong>
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>Opens the <a href="#ClockMon">NCE Clock Monitor</a> window. When the clock is running as
|
|
clock master mode, the internal clock rate is adjusted to match time with the NCE command
|
|
station clock. The goal is the minute should roll over at the same time for the internal
|
|
clock and ProCab displays.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p><strong>Show Cabs</strong>
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
<p><br>
|
|
Opens a window that displays the cabs currently on the system. This is handy for determining
|
|
the cab number assigned to a throttle that doesn't have a display. Just use "Show Cabs" to
|
|
display the cabs currently on the system. Then plug in the cab in question and use it again
|
|
to see which one is added. If you have a standalone setup bench it's even easier. Cycle the
|
|
power to clear the command station memory. Then plug in the new cab and Show Cabs will
|
|
display its number</p>
|
|
|
|
<p><strong>Booster Programming</strong>
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>Booster Programming is stated to be only for NCE booster testing, and warns that the
|
|
booster must be disconnected from the track before using.</p>

<h4><a id="EditMacroWin"></a>Edit NCE Macro Window</h4>
|
|
|
|
<p>This tool allows you to review, edit and save NCE style macros. It also allows you to
|
|
backup and restore all the NCE command station macros to and from a file. The file format is
|
|
identical to NCE, so you can restore a file that was generated by the NCE backup command. It
|
|
is recommended that you set the baud rate at 9600 when using this tool.</p>
