<h3>Command Station</h3>

<h3>Computer Interfaces</h3>
|

|

<ul>
|
|
<li>MX-1 - ASCII Protocol</li>
|
|
|
|
<li>MXULF - Binary Protocol <strong>Up to Software 0.61.05</strong></li>
|
|
|
|
<li>MX-10 - Binary Protocol (Tentative)</li>
|
|
</ul>
|
|
|
|
<h2 id="limitations">Limitations</h2>
|
|
|
|
<p>ASCII protocol currently only supports programming</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>Binary protocol supports the following</p>
|
|
|
|
<ul>
|
|
<li>Programming, Both on the Main & Service Mode</li>
|
|
|
|
<li>Throttle</li>
|
|
|
|
<li>Turnout Control - Tentative</li>
|
|
</ul>
|
|
<strong>Note</strong> Testing of the binary protocol has only been possible using the MXULF,
|
|
with the turnout control having not been fully tested. Issues may occur when used with the
|
|
MX-10 but we do not currently have any hardware to test against.

<h3>MX-1 Setup</h3>
|
|
|
|
<ol>
|
|
<li>To connect your computer to a ZIMO MX-1 system, you can usually just connect the
|
|
command station to the computer's serial port using a serial cable.</li>
|
|
|
|
<li>Then go to the preferences panel of a JMRI-based program. This opens automatically the
|
|
first time a program is run, or you can select it from the "Edit" menu.</li>
|
|
|
|
<li>Select "ZIMO MX-1" from the top selection box. You can then select the proper serial
|
|
port in the second selection box.</li>
|
|
|
|
<li>The baud rate selection box will give you choices from 1,200 to 38,400 baud. Select the
|
|
speed that is configured into your MX-1.</li>
|
|
|
|
<li>The series of radio buttons labelled "GUI style" allows you to select how the program
|
|
will look. "Metal" is the native Java look available on all types. Other choices will vary
|
|
with your computer type. "Motif", "Windows", "MacOS" and "MacOS Adaptive" look native on
|
|
Linux, Windows, MacOS "Classic" and Mac OS X respectively.</li>
|
|
|
|
<li>In the bottom selection box, you can pick the default programmer format. You can
|
|
override this each time you open the programmer, so this is here just for convenience.</li>
|
|
|
|
<li>Click "Save". You'll be asked if it's OK for the program to quit, click "Yes".</li>
|
|
|
|
<li>Restart the program. You should be up and running.</li>
|
|
</ol>
|
|
|
|
<h3>MXULF / MX-10 Setup</h3>
|
|
|
|
<ol>
|
|
<li>Connect the MXULF to a Suitable power supply</li>
|
|
|
|
<li>Connect the MXULF to the computer via the USB interface, ensure that the display screen
|
|
reads something along the lines of <code>PC <-> MXULF<br>
|
|
Rx: 0 Tx: 0</code><br>
|
|
If the bottom line is not displayed, then remove/re-insert the usb cable.</li>
|
|
|
|
<li>Then go to the preferences panel of a JMRI-based program. This opens automatically the
|
|
first time a program is run, or you can select it from the "Edit" menu.</li>
|
|
|
|
<li>From the Manufacturers List, select "ZIMO" and from the system select "MXULF"</li>
|
|
|
|
<li>Select the appropriate comm port from the list</li>
|
|
|
|
<li>The Baud rate by default is set to 9600, you can change it if needs be from the
|
|
advanced options</li>
|
|
|
|
<li>Click "Save". You'll be asked if it's OK for the program to quit and restart, click
|
|
"Yes".</li>
|
|
|
|
<li>Restart the program. You should be up and running.</li>
|
|
