Instead, you&#8217;ll find separate input fields for the relevant parameters. The consequence is that you can no longer set the various Switch or Alarm parameters independently, but that&#8217;s manageable: first read the parameters and then adjust what you want to change. It&#8217;s just much more convenient this way.<br\/>Additionally, the fields now show the default values as they are in the TMxx upon startup.   <\/p>\n\n<p>DinamoConfig 1.40A includes several bug fixes and a significant number of &#8220;visual adjustments&#8221; to make texts and buttons (hopefully) appear more logical and understandable.<\/p>\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"Wijzigingen_t\\.o.v._DinamoConfig_1.32\">Changes compared to DinamoConfig 1.32<a href=\"https:\/\/dinamousers.net\/DinamoConfig+Release+Notes+1.40B_nl#Wijzigingen_t.o.v._DinamoConfig_1.32\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><\/a><\/h3>\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"Dual_Channel\">Dual Channel<a href=\"https:\/\/dinamousers.net\/DinamoConfig+Release+Notes+1.40B_nl#Dual_Channel\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><\/a><\/h2>\n\n<p>DinamoConfig 1.40 supports Dual-Channel Dinamo systems. The Status window now shows double the number of Dinamo components (making it slightly larger as well). <\/p>\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"RM-U_RM-C_Configuratie\">RM-U\/RM-C Configuration<a href=\"https:\/\/dinamousers.net\/DinamoConfig+Release+Notes+1.40B_nl#RM-U_RM-C_Configuratie\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><\/a><\/h2>\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>It is now possible to configure serial channel 0 (the serial upward channel for PC communication on the RM-U) as the second &#8220;downward&#8221; channel for communication with Dinamo subsystems.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>It is now possible to set the bitrate for channel 0. <strong>PLEASE NOTE<\/strong>: If you do this while this is the communication channel with your PC on the RM-U, this speed will (also) change.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n<p>Note: Communication channel settings only become active after a reboot of the RM-x module. Therefore, only settings with the &#8220;Permanent&#8221; checkbox checked are useful for these options. <\/p>\n\n<p>For the record: speed settings are not relevant for USB!<\/p>\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>It is now possible to read the configuration of the RM-U\/RM-C. If the RM-U\/RM-C also supports this and the settings have been received, the background of the relevant frame turns green. <\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n<p>Note: Writing and reading settings with &#8220;Permanent&#8221; enabled writes to\/reads from the flash memory; without &#8220;Permanent&#8221;, you set the settings temporarily or read the currently active settings.<\/p>\n\n<p>The ability to set RM-x options via DinamoConfig has been removed. Instead, there are now 3 buttons to put the RM-x into Transparent Mode. There are now 3 possibilities for this:  <\/p>\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Transparent Mode Channel 1: After this, it is possible to configure the OC32s on channel 1 using OC32Config via Transparent Mode.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Transparent Mode Channel 0: After this, it is possible to configure the OC32s on channel 0 using OC32Config via Transparent Mode.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Bootloader Transparent Mode: After this, it is possible to update modules behind the RM-x using the VPEB Bootloader. This works for both channel 1 and channel 0. <\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n<p>Transparent mode, regardless of the variant, can only be ended by an RM-x reboot.<\/p>\n\n<p>The confusing message that there is no response from Dinamo after entering Transparent Mode has been removed and replaced by a message stating that the RM-x is now in Transparent Mode.<\/p>\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"Testmogelijkheden\">Testing Options<a href=\"https:\/\/dinamousers.net\/DinamoConfig+Release+Notes+1.40B_nl#Testmogelijkheden\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><\/a><\/h2>\n\n<p>From version 1.40 onwards, DinamoConfig has the ability to test the system.<br\/>An extra tab has been added (&#8220;TEST&#8221;). The current system status is displayed in the top right of that tab: <\/p>\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Disconnected: There is no connection to Dinamo<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Stop: All vehicles are forced to stop. The checkbox in the top center turns &#8220;stop&#8221; on or off. <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Fault: The Dinamo system or one of the connected modules is in error mode. All vehicles have stopped. Fault status can be reset with &#8220;Reset Fault&#8221;. Note: Fault status is a normal occurrence that happens, for example, if Dinamo has briefly lost connection with the PC or if TMxx modules have lost connection with the RM-U\/RM-C. Only if resetting with &#8220;Reset Fault&#8221; doesn&#8217;t work is there an actual problem.    <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Run: The system is functioning normally and vehicles can run.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n<p>Controllable functions include:<\/p>\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Driving and functions for analog trains<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Driving and functions for DCC trains<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Driving and functions for cars<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Linking and unlinking blocks<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Operating OM32\/OC32 using OM32 instructions<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Operating OC32s using SetAspect instructions<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Operating PM32 Devices. Both the normal method and the Subsystem Addressing method (&#8220;Module Select&#8221;) can be used here. <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Feedback Monitor<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n<p>The Feedback Monitor is opened with the button of the same name on the right side. Several &#8220;views&#8221; are available, which can be useful depending on whether you use UCCIs, TM-Hs, or TM44s on one or two channels. The program remembers the received feedback status in the background, so when switching between various &#8220;views&#8221;, the status remains known and is shown as soon as you switch back to a &#8220;view&#8221;.<br\/>The &#8220;Request Data&#8221; button requests the feedback status of the feedbacks currently &#8220;in view&#8221;.<br\/>Note: With older Dinamo systems (pre-1.40), a status is requested from a TMxx when requested, even if this module is not connected. Using this function, and thus the status monitor, can lead to system delays in such systems, resulting in a fault state in extreme cases. From 1.40 onwards, the RM-x only requests the status from a TMxx if a module is actually connected.    <\/p>\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"Hidden_Features\">Hidden Features<a href=\"https:\/\/dinamousers.net\/DinamoConfig+Release+Notes+1.40B_nl#Hidden_Features\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><\/a><\/h2>\n\n<p>Since you can now also set serial channel 0 for PC communication to a bitrate of 38k4, there is also the option to have DinamoConfig connect at that speed. Since this is not relevant for USB, which most people will use, this setting is hidden. Double-click on the text &#8220;CommPort&#8221; at the very top left and you&#8217;ll get an extra window showing the (hexadecimal) communication between DinamoConfig and Dinamo. You can leave that window open or close it, but in the process, you&#8217;ve now also gained the 19k2\/38k4 selection at the top of the main screen.   <\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":0,"template":"","meta":{"_acf_changed":false},"software-product":[268],"class_list":["post-5330","software","type-software","status-publish","hentry","software-product-legacy"],"acf":[],"jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/dinamobesturing.nl\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/software\/5330","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/dinamobesturing.nl\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/software"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/dinamobesturing.nl\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/software"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/dinamobesturing.nl\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=5330"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"software-product","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dinamobesturing.nl\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/software-product?post=5330"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
