<p>You will need a means to connect between your computer and the track on which the
|
|
locomotive rests, that will take serial instructions and generate DCC packets on the rails.
|
|
At a minimum, a Command Station/Booster (your DCC system will probably suffice), an
|
|
additional hardware interface to send commands from your computer to the command station
|
|
(this could be as simple as a serial cable), and a programming track set up according to the
|
|
manufacturer's instructions.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>For some systems, you will also need an additional hardware interface to send the commands
|
|
from your computer to the Command Station, and from there on to the decoder in the
|
|
locomotive. For a Digitrax system, for example, you will need either the <strong>MS100
|
|
interface</strong>, <strong>PR3 programmer</strong> or a <strong>LocoBuffer</strong>. The
|
|
<strong>PR1</strong> device from Digitrax is a stand-alone programmer and is <span class=
|
|
"ACCENT">not</span> usable with this software.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>For those who do not have any DCC hardware yet and are considering purchasing a DCC
|
|
locomotive and besides OperationsPro want to use DecoderPro to program decoders, consider the
|
|
SPROG II USB. It has all the electronics in one package with enough output to run a
|
|
locomotive. It comes complete with the USB cable, power supply, instructions and JMRI on a
|
|
CD-rom.</p>
