Mth downloader train sound files

If you? OCX library when you installed the DCS Loader the program will open and seem to be fully functional, but it will fail to load locomotive sound files. MTH is working on a correction for this problem, and I will post on this forum when the correction is made. If you then install V1.

The next step in getting started is to download the new TIU and remote software from the Protosound2 website. Again, observe where on your computer the file is downloaded. The file comes "zipped," and must be unzipped. Use whatever utility your computer has to decompress the files and they will automatically be placed in the "system downloads" folder inside the DCS Loader program file.

You will also need three types of cables to update your TIU and remote. If you need to make a shopping trip, I've included the Radio Shack part numbers in the list below for cables that will do the job, but comparable products are available at many other stores. If your computer does not have a 9-pin serial port you will also need to acquire a serial port adapter that will connect to a port that your computer does have, like a USB, PCMCIA or Express port.

The particulars on using these adapters will be included in part 2 of this tutorial. If your computer does have a 9-pin serial port you are now ready to start using the DCS Loader software. At this point your set-up should look something like this:. When the program asks you to select the file to download it should default to look in the "System Downloads" folder.

If when you downloaded and extracted the files you allowed them to go to their default locations the TIU code should already be in the window, which looks like this:. In this case we'll be downloading the version 3. If the file is not in that folder you'll need to locate it before proceeding. Once located double click on the.

If all is working properly you should see this message within a couple minutes:. But, as we've already seen, things don't always go properly. If you encounter this problem double check that the TIU is powered, the serial cable is securely connected on both ends, and that you inserted the audio cable as instructed.

If the problem persists it is likely that the serial port has the wrong settings in your computer's BIOS. Most computer users never have to make changes in the BIOS. Since this is a "geekier" problem to correct I'll cover it in part 2 of this tutorial. To update the software on a remote you will still need to have the TIU connected to your computer with the serial cable.

Also, make sure that the remote has batteries with a good charge. Connect one end of the 4-wire telephone handset cord to the jack at the base of the remote and insert the other end into the "Remote Input" jack on the TIU. Your set-up should now look something like this:. Follow the on screen instructions precisely. Just as with the TIU update, when the program asks you to select the file to download it should default to look in the "System Downloads" folder.

IF they do when you go to load the remote code your remote will power on. It should NOT blink or flicker at all. It MUST remain on constant. If the LED blinks then it means your mini-to-mini cable is not stereo, you have some other adapters on the cable, or you do not have the cable plugged in fully at one or both of the jacks.

Trying to download Replies sorted oldest to newest. The sound files aren't readable. Use the file with the DCS Loader. Remember where the file is before opening the Loader. Save it to the Desktop? Crossing bell rings and train crosses fast Keywords: railway, railroad, intersection. Title: Train Departing with Whistle.

It takes about an hour to do a download at what appears to be the max BAUD rate. Maybe there's something I can do to speed up the process, I haven't tried any different settings yet. But what the heck it's working and I guess I'm not in a big hurry anyhow. I want to thank all who responded to my plea for help. I hope to be able to reciprocate some time in the future.
