<h3>If you are a first time user with no entries in the roster or preferences set <a href=
|
|
"Start_DecoderPro_New.shtml">Click Here</a>.</h3>
|
|
|
|
<p>Once you have downloaded the JMRI software and installed it, simply open the program in
|
|
the usual manner for your operating system. An icon for DecoderPro should be installed on
|
|
your Desktop.<br>
|
|

|
|
|
|
<p>DecoderPro may be opened by double click on the Desktop icon and the DecoderPro initial
|
|
screen as shown below will be displayed on completion of startup with no roster entries.</p>
|

|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>DecoderPro will open showing your roster entries if you already have established a Roster
|
|
of locomotives.</p>

|
|
<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. Be patient - 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>
