|
|
|
<p>A roster is a database of all locomotives that your installation of DecoderPro has
|
|
programmed. Some stationary decoders can also be added to this database.<br>
|
|
It includes the information seen in the screen below:</p>
|
|
|
|
<img src="RosterOpsTab.png" alt="DecoderPro Roster Tab">
|
|
<p>The first field "ID" becomes the file name in the Roster for the locomotive you are
|
|
programming.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>The DCC Address Field is the active DCC address for this loco, see the <a href=
|
|
"#Basic">Basic Pane</a>.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>The Throttle Speed Limit sets the Maximum throttle percentage allowed.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p><a href="../../../../../html/apps/DecoderPro/Roster.shtml#loco_data">Locomotive Data</a>
|
|
is an advanced feature.<span class="since">since 5.15.4</span></p>
|
|
|
|
<p>You can put anything you want in the other fields.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>The Save button stores the current decoder information to your Roster folder. The default
|
|
storage is in the same directory the Preferences are stored in.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>The "Reset to Defaults" button, not a "factory reset", returns the Decoder CVs to the
|
|
Default value that was programmed into the decoder xml file. It does NOT change the values in
|
|
the roster file on your hard disk, unless you Save it The Values are not written to the
|
|
decoder until you select to write them.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>Most decoders will activate the Reset Menu (next to the File menu at the top of the page).
|
|
This is the "Factory Reset", some of the manufacturer has several reset routines. It does
|
|
this by writing directly to a CV in the decoder, CV8 in the case of Digitrax. All decoders
|
|
may not support Factory Rest and how they work is manufacturer and decoder dependent.</p>
|
|
|
|
<h3 id="Basic">Basic Tab</h3>
|
|
<img src="BasicTab.png" alt="DecoderPro Basic Tab">
|
|
<p>The Basic pane is where you set the Decoder address, you can set the short and the long
|
|
address and then select which one is Active.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>The items that displayed may be different for each decoder. It depends on how the decoder
|
|
definition file was written and what options the manufacture included in the decoder.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>You can select the Locomotive Direction. If you want the loco to go in the other direction
|
|
set Reverse.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>The Speed Steps for the Loco can be selected, usually its 28 steps.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>You can select whether the loco responds to DC voltage or not.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>You can enter any number you want into the "User id's"</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>The Manufacture ID and the Manufacture Version ID are set in the decoder by the
|
|
Manufacture. JMRI uses these to identify the decoder.</p>
|
|
|
|
<h3 id="Other_Tabs">Other tabs</h3>
|
|
The other tabs are dependent on what the manufacture installed in the decoder, if the options
|
|
were not installed the panes are either gray or not enabled.
|
|
<h3 id="Speed_Table">Speed Table Tab</h3>
|
|
|
|
<p><img src="SpeedTab.png" alt="DecoderPro Speed Tab">
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>This panel may look different depending on how the decoder xml was built. To use the Speed
|
|
Table CV's usually the basic speed option needs to be turned off. The little boxes under each
|
|
slider are very useful. To see how they work check one in the middle of the table then slide
|
|
the last slider down. Notice that the values do not change below the one you checked. They
|
|
also do not change for steps above if a lower step is changed.</p>
