<p>The Operations Program is run from the DecoderPro® Menu which is activated in the
|
|
Operations Preferences.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>Once you have downloaded the DecoderPro® software and installed it, simply open the
|
|
program in the usual manner for your operating system. On MS Windows the installer will place
|
|
an icon on your Desktop. For details please refer to the <a href=
|
|
"../../html/setup/index.shtml">JMRI Setup Help</a>.</p>

</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>Double click on the icon for the program to open, in this case we will open
|
|
DecoderPro®.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>The following dialog will appear briefly as the program is loading:</p>
|
|
|
|
<p><img src="images/StartDialog.png" width="170" height="167" alt="Start dialog">
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>You should see this or a similar opening screen displayed after one of the JMRI® programs
|
|
starts:</p>
|
|
|
|
<h1><img src="images/Splash_Screen.png" width="496" height="282" alt="splash">
|
|
</h1>
|
|
|
|
<p>It may take a while for this screen to come up, especially on older and slower computers.
|
|
Remember that you are essentially running the program on a Java emulator over your native
|
|
operating system software. New computers can do this fairly quickly, but older ones will feel
|
|
like they're taking forever. <strong>Be patient</strong> - it will come up eventually! Even
|
|
on older computers, once the program is up the response time is quite good.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>If this is the first time you have run the program after you installed the software, the
|
|
<a href="Start_Preferences.shtml">Preferences</a> screen will come up automatically to allow
|
|
you to set up the system for your particular configuration. Also if you change your system
|
|
configuration, OR if you have your laptop away from the railroad, but you want to play with
|
|
JMRI there is a simulator mode you may want to try. So click next, and we"ll have a look at
|
|
Preferences.</p>
