DinamoNewConfig 1.0

DinamoNewConfig is a completely new implementation of DinamoConfig.
The old DinamoConfig will (in principle) no longer be developed and has been replaced by DinamoNewConfig for current versions of Dinamo. You only need to use DinamoConfig for old Dinamo implementations with a protocol older than 3.20. The exception is UCCI/E with protocol 3.10, which is also supported by DinamoNewConfig.
DinamoNewConfig 1.0 works on Windows, Mac-Intel, Mac-ARM, and Linux (tested on Mint).
Most functions work similarly to DinamoConfig 1.40, so please use that manual for info for the time being.

Main screen:

  • Connect/disconnect with Dinamo
  • Connect/disconnect with UCCI (stand-alone)
  • Reset error status
  • Request status

Tab RM-x

  • Change and request temporary and permanent settings
  • Enable Transparent Mode

Tab TMxx/UCCI-s

  • Change and request temporary and permanent settings
  • Master/Slave and Clock Check when selecting TMxx(ALL)

TAB PM32

  • Temporary and permanent configuration of PM32 modules

TAB Control

  • The ability to operationally control (test) the Dinamo system
  • Set HFI level sets the HFI level for analog locomotives (temporary)
  • Open Block Control Window opens a control window for the selected block. Up to 256 windows can be opened.
  • Open MCC Control Window opens a control window for the selected MCC decoder. (In theory) up to 4096 windows can be opened.
  • Open MCC Configurator opens a configuration window for the selected MCC decoder. (In theory) up to 4096 windows can be opened.
  • Open Feedback Monitor opens a feedback monitor window
  • There is an option to link and unlink blocks
  • There is an option to send operational commands to OM32, PM32, and OC32 modules

Status

  • Shows System Status
  • If RM-x is in OC32 eXtended Addressing, the status window shows the eXtended OC32 addresses
  • With a Single Channel RM-x, the window shows only Channel 1 by default
  • With a Dual Channel RM-X, the window shows Channel 1 and 0 by default
  • As a user, you can hide Ch1 or Ch0 if desired. With Dual Channel and OC32 eXtended, the window would otherwise become very wide

Feedback Monitor

  • Shows 128 feedbacks
  • Which 128 feedbacks (out of 2048) are shown can be influenced by Base Address and Grouping
  • Base Address can be selected in steps of 128
  • Grouping 128/128 shows continuous numbering, useful for TM-H or UCCI where all sensors can be used
  • Grouping 16/64 shows 16 sensors per row and a jump of 64 to the next row, useful for TM44s with 16 sensors per TM44
  • Grouping 16/32 shows 16 sensors per row and a jump of 32 to the next row, useful for TM44s with 16 sensors per TM44 in a Dual Channel system
  • Grouping 16/128 shows 16 sensors per row and a jump of 128 to the next row, useful for a system with TM-Hs where you only use 16 sensors per TM-H (1 CD16 per TM-H)
  • Grouping 32/128 shows 32 sensors per 2 rows and a jump of 128 to the next rows, useful for a system with TM-Hs where you use 32 sensors per TM-H (2 CD16s per TM-H)
  • Get Status requests the current status of the sensors currently in view

Block Control Window

  • Provides the ability to control a (train in a) block
  • Choice of Analog and DCC
  • Clear Block clears the block and makes it inactive (and thus does not close the window).

MCC Control Window

  • Provides the ability to control an MCC decoder
  • Remove Decoder Control stops the sending of packets for the relevant decoder (and thus does not close the window).

MCC Configurator

  • Allows you to adjust the configuration of a decoder
  • You can choose between MCCdec version 03 (standard) and version 02. When switching between these two modes, a number of parameters in the working memory that are not compatible between both models are reset to factory settings. MCCdec models 00 and 01 are not supported.
  • At the top are 2 buttons “Load Data” and “Save Data”. These allow the configuration to be saved to a .json file and loaded.
  • At the top is a “Program” button. This allows the selected configuration components to be programmed into the decoder. Pay attention to the car/decoder. If the indicator lights flash briefly after the command, the configuration has been received and saved; otherwise, it hasn’t!
  • “Name”: This is a name you can give to a car/decoder. This is not saved in the decoder, but it is saved in the .json file. When saving, this is used as the suggested filename.
  • The configurator is built into multiple tabs with one or more sections in each tab. For each section, you can indicate whether the relevant parameters should be programmed. This is the case if the section turns blue.
  • “Decoder Factory Reset”: Restores factory settings before the rest of the selected parameters are programmed.
  • “Set Address”: Note: If you change a decoder’s address, the address under which the configuration window operates does not change. You must then close the window and open a new window with the new address. Don’t forget to save the configuration before doing so.
  • Decoder with unknown address: If you no longer know which address a decoder has, open a Configurator Window with address 0. This is a broadcast for all decoders, so all decoders on the road will respond to this.

Menu

  • Window->Log Messages shows communication logging with Dinamo

Installation

  • Windows: Download the .zip and extract it somewhere on your hard drive. Go to the folder where you extracted the .zip and double-click DinamoNewConfig.exe
  • Linux: Download the .tar.gzip and extract it somewhere on your hard drive. Go to the folder where you extracted the files. Make the file DinamoNewConfig executable and double-click DinamoNewConfig.
  • Mac: Download the .zip (Intel or ARM version) and extract it somewhere on your hard drive. Go to the folder where you extracted the .zip and double-click DinamoNewConfig.app. If you want to install the application, drag DinamoNewConfig.app to the Applications folder.
  • You will probably get warnings that the software was downloaded from “an untrusted source” and is therefore “very dangerous”. You will have to accept those warnings for now.
