<p><strong>Operations Mode (Main Track) Programmer</strong> - or <strong>Programming on the
|
|
main(POM)</strong>. Opens the <strong>Operations Mode (Main Track)</strong> windowThis lets
|
|
you program a specific decoder on the layout, even while it is operating. However, because it
|
|
addresses a specific decoder address, some decoders will not allow you to change the
|
|
decoder's address using this method!</p>

|
<p>Some command stations will only "broadcast" programming commands, which can mean every
|
|
locomotive on the layout gets the same programming! The same is true if you try to program a
|
|
loco with address zero (or forget to enter an address when you start). If in doubt, check
|
|
your documentation.</p>

<blockquote>
|
|
<strong>Reading from your Decoder on the main:</strong><br>
|
|
<br>
|
|
With a few exceptions it is not possible to read from a CV on the Main. If reading fails it
|
|
usually reports as a 306 error (Timeout Talking to Command Station.)<br>
|
|
<br>
|
|
<strong>Writing to your decoder on the main:</strong><br>
|
|
<br>
|
|
Program on the Main writes are often called a "blind write" because there is no response
|
|
from the decoder that the write was successful. POM is very useful for tuning loco
|
|
performance while it is operating and the ack is the change in performance.<br>
|
|
The decoder is first addressed by the Command Station, then the CV is addressed and then
|
|
the data that is to be written into that CV of that decoder is sent. An exception is if
|
|
address zero is used,(or you forget to enter an address when you start). Then
|
|
<strong>ALL</strong> decoders on the main will write that data into the appropriate CV
|
|
which usually is an "unintended consequence".

<p>Some command stations will only "broadcast" programming commands, which can mean every
|
|
locomotive on the layout gets the same programming! If in doubt, check your
|
|
documentation.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>In this window you select the locomotive in which you wish to change CV values, and what
|
|
programmer you want to use. Once they are selected you click <strong>Open Programmer</strong>
|
|
button just as you would do in the <strong>Service Mode programmer</strong>.</p>
