Support Tools

These support tools are provided free.
JMRI and DecoderPro (part of JMRI) are open source and provided by a  community of developers.
Other tools are by Team Digital.

Specific Product Tools:
To download a file, click on the file with the right mouse button and select from the pop-up menu.

SMC4
Download TD_SMC4.xml file for programming in DecoderPro

SMD82
Download  TD_SMD82.xml file version 1.3 (4/20/07) for programming in DecoderPro.
Corrected problem with output addresses.

SRC8
Download  TD_SRC8.xml file for programming in DecoderPro.
SRC8s marked with 44 or later required to work with DecoderPro.
Download Excel spreadsheet for SRC8 CV record and calculator SRC8_cv_cal.xls

SIC24
Download  TD_SIC24.xml file version 1.2 (6/9/07) for programming in DecoderPro.
SIC24s marked with 13 or later required to work with DecoderPro.
Download Excel spreadsheet with various SIC24 logic cell assignments  sic24_cell_asign.xls
This sheet gives a number of examples in using logic cells. The examples include searchlight, approach lighting and semaphore type signaling. Once the cells have been assigned, you can use DecoderPro to determine the CV number and value to program.

SMD8
Download  TD_SMD8.xml file for programming in DecoderPro.
Download Excel spreadsheet for SMD8 CV record and calculator SMD8_calculator.xls
This sheet was generously provided by Steve Baggott from Australia. It is oriented toward NCE users.

Note: Programming the SRC8 or SIC24 via LocoNet with DecoderPro. The SRC8 and SIC24 respond to DecoderPro like a command station does. For this reason once in a while DecoderPro gets confused since there are two devices responding. Therefore, you may find best performance when programming by enabling the LocoNet terminator in LocoBuffer-II and disconnecting the command station from LocoNet.

Fun Tools:
Loco Back-N-Forth is a JMRI script that runs a loco back and forth between blocks 1 and 3 of a
three block (1,2,3) section. User enters loco number and max speed. It includes a scrolling field to show the state of activity.
Download   locoBack-N-Forth.py   version 1.3 - 1/8/07

LN Send Tool:
The LN Send Tool is a JMRI script that allows you to  easily send several of the most common loconet type messages. These include switch, feedback and sensor type messages. DCC signal packets can also be sent via loconet. Messages are configured using radio buttons and combo boxes. It does not display (monitor) loconet message traffic. However, you can use the JMRI Loconet Monitor to view messaages.
Download   LnSendTool.py   version 1.2 - 11/4/06

LN Monitor Tool:
The LN Monitor Tool is a JMRI script that allows you to view loconet messages. It has some basic switch, feedback and sensor type message filter capability. This is not the same as the Loconet Monitor that is built into JMRI.
Download  LnMonitorTool.py   version 1.0 - 1/8/07
