<p><strong>DecoderPro</strong> is only one facet of the JMRI suite of programs. Another facet
is <strong>PanelPro</strong>, which is software that allows you draw a track diagram and then
interface the items in that diagram to the electronic hardware on the real layout so that the
hardware can be operated via the JMRI Interface. For a tutorial on how to work with PanelPro
go to <a href=
"https://jmri.org/community/clinics/NMRA2008/LayoutEditorClinic2008/LayoutEditorClinic.pdf">PanelPro
Layout Editor Tutorial</a>. The subject of panels is included here only show what is
available in the DecoderPro menus with a brief illustration/description of what these menu
selections access. They are covered here because there is a Panels menu on the DecoderPro
main window that allows access to some of the PanelPro functions.</p>
