Configure Digitrax DS64

panel image

The JMRI DS64 programming tool lets you configure the internal options of a DS64 directly from your computer.

To open this tool from the JMRI start page select the Loconet tab then find the tool on the drop down list.

To use it, you put the address of a DS64 board in the text field and click "Read from DS64". The tool will read back the current state of the various options, and set the check boxes to correspond to their current values.

You can then, if you wish, change the checkboxes and click "Write to DS64" to make your changes permanent.

Limitations

Because of the way the DS64 board works, this tool can't change the basic address of the unit.

At present, DS64 routes cannot be programmed by this tool. It's possible, but nobody has written the code for it yet because JMRI routes are more powerful and easier to use.
