![]() Not ideal, but at least that will give you a paper record of what the CVs were, so that they can be manually entered again.better than nothing. I had forgotten about ProPack having a 'Print CV' feature. To use it for want you want to do, one would need to have some kind of 'Import' CV list function as well. But chances are (if it does anything), that it only saves the CV list as an electronic text file rather than a printed paper version. Maybe someone with ProPack could see if they can get it to do something. Since I don't have ProPack, I am unable to experiment with this ghostly button. ![]() so maybe there was the intention to provide an option to save the CVs list? Interestingly, there is a button to the right of the Print button in the CV list which does nothing and does not appear in the image of this window in the user guide (). However, if you then fit a new decoder (or one that has been wiped clean of values) in the loco and put it on the programming track, you can't then click a button in RailMaster (as one doesn't exist) to clone all those previously read CV values into the new decoder (which is what I think is the feature that you are hoping to achieve). So in that respect, the CV values have the potential to be stored in the 'resource.mdb' file. The next time you load that loco and open the CV 'read/write' window, then the previously read CV values are populated in the appropriate fields. In the 'Standard' edition, if I recall correctly (my recollection may be in error), if you read all appropriate CVs for a loco then save the loco afterwards in the 'resource.mdb' database. Notice the line highlighted in yellow, basically it is saying that the ProPack feature is just doing with a ProPack 'button' click what you can do manually with the stated files in the 'Standard' edition. This statement is in effect confirmed by the following manual extract : What I do know about the ProPack 'back-up' feature, is that it uses the files in the railmaster program folder that have the. I am also fairly sure that I have seen this exact question asked before and the same answer was given to it. Not unless someone has found a 'workaround'. I don't use ProPack, but I am about 95% sure that the back-up function in ProPack does not extend to backing up loco CVs in a form that will be useful to you (see very last paragraph in this reply). I use DecoderPro for saving my loco CV values, but I use a 'SPROG II' interface instead of my Elite when I am using it. I am fairly certain that it will work with the Hornby Elite, but categorically doesn't work with eLink. DecoderPro is 'open source' software, meaning it is free to use without restriction. JMRI DecoderPro will keep a database record of the CVs it reads in a loco decoder.
