<h1 id="Top">JMRI®: DecoderPro® Manual</h1>
|
|
|
|
<p class="important">This Manual deals with DP3 up to version 3.6.<br>
|
|
Online Help for the current version of JMRI® DecoderPro® is <a href=
|
|
"../../html/apps/DecoderPro/index.shtml">here</a>.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p><strong>DecoderPro3®</strong> is a Java-based cross-platform application for model
|
|
railroaders.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>DecoderPro® can run on any computer system that will run Java 1.6.0 or later, whether it
|
|
is Macintosh, Windows, or Linux based. It does require that Java be installed on the
|
|
computer.<br>
|
|
You can get Java as a free (but large) download at: <a href="http://java.com/download/"
|
|
target="_blank">java.com/download/</a></p>
|
|
Notes:
|
|
<ol>
|
|
<li>All screen shots in this manual are from a Windows machine using the "Metal" User
|
|
Interface option. While your screens will probably differ in some layout details, they will
|
|
be essentially the same. All programming examples shown are with Digitrax PR3 (MS100 mode)
|
|
connected to Digitrax Super Chief Radio Command Station. Most of the decoders in locomotive
|
|
samples will be Digitrax, except for sound examples.</li>
|
|
|
|
<li>This entire manual has been updated to correspond to JMRI® 3.6 DecoderPro only, and the
|
|
SHTML verified using HTML4 and Cascading Style Sheets. If the formatting looks odd, you
|
|
probably need to update your browser.</li>
|
|
|
|
<li>DecoderPro® v3.x was at one time known as DecoderPro3® v3.x, however since JMRI version
|
|
4 we leave out the 3 in the name.</li>
