DecoderPro® Main Window

Panels Menu


DecoderPro® is only one facet of the JMRI suite of programs. Another facet is PanelPro, which is software that allows you draw a track diagram and then interface the items in that diagram to the electronic hardware on the real layout so that the hardware can be operated via the JMRI Interface. For a tutorial on how to work with PanelPro go to PanelPro Layout Editor Tutorial and PanelPro Clinic (pdf and flash video files). The subject of panels is included here only show what is available in the DecoderPro menus with a brief illustration/description of what these menu selections access. They are covered here because there is a Panels menu on the DecoderPro main window that allows access to some of the PanelPro functions.
