<hr>
<p>Prior to using the programmer you need to have completed
the previous section (<a href="Start_DCC.shtml">Getting
Started</a>), have your computer connected to your command
station/booster with the required interface device for your
DCC system, you are now ready to actually program a decoder
that has been installed in your locomotive.</p>
<p><br>
On opening DecoderPro, the main page will be displayed:
(After preferences are set)</p>
<div align="center">
<img src="images/Splash_Screen.png" width="496" height=
"282" alt="splash">
</div>
<p>There are four buttons near the bottom, the first two of
which are:</p>
<p><b><a href="Programmer_ServiceMode.shtml"><input type=
"button" name="button" id="button" value=
"Service Mode (Programming Track) Programmer"> Service
Mode</a></b> - With this button you select a programmer to
program the locomotive(decoder) on the dedicated programming
track. (Probably because the Locomotive has to be taken to
the servicing track to be programmed). Not all command
stations support a dedicated programming track, and some
brands will shut down the mainline power when in programming
mode (not pleasant when you have an ops session in
progress.</p>
<p><b><a href="Programmer_OpsMode.shtml"><input type="button"
name="button2" id="button2" value=
"Operations Mode (Main Track ) Programmer"> Operations
Mode</a></b> - or <strong>[Programming on the
main(POM)]</strong>. This 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! 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>
<p><strong><input type="button" name="button3" id="button3"
value="Help"></strong> - Accesses the help files<br></p>
<p><input type="button" name="button4" id="button4" value=
"Quit"> - Exits the program.</p>
<p>Any additional buttons are added in the <strong><a href=
"Start_Preferences.shtml">preferences</a></strong>.</p>
<h2>Additional programmers that are available.</h2>
<p><a href="Programmer_SingleCV.shtml"><strong>Single CV
Programmer</strong></a> Lets you program older decoders one
CV at a time.</p>
<p><a href=
"Programmer_Multi_Decoder.shtml"><strong>Multi-Programmer
Control</strong></a> provides a convenient way to program
CV's when you have more than one decoder installed in a
locomotive. For example, if you have separate decoders to
control the motor and provide sound, and they both use the
same CV locations, programming one decoder would change the
settings on the other, usually an undesired feature.</p>
<p>Now that you have decided on which Programming Mode to
use, you may continue</p>
