  I just transferred my Dad's layout to my house after it has been in storage for a couple of years.  I just hooked up an older DCS to my layout and I had a couple of questions.  

The DCS is pretty old  maybe 5 or 6 years.    I wanted to upgrade it but  when I go to install the loader program,  I receive a message.  The message states I need to upgrade my .NET software but I have the most updated version 4.6.1.    I was going to my father-in- laws computer because he  has Vista and might have an older version.   I am not sure what to do but I might replace  the DCS.     What are your thoughts?

 

Also   how do you know what version you have?   My remote says  version 3.10.

 

I wanted to really  to say thank you to Barry.  His book is awesome and a great resource.

 That's the version of DCS in the remote, i.e., DCS 3.1.

To learn the version in the TIU:

Thank you for purchasing my book!  

I keep getting a TIU Error message.

There are a few common reasons for getting a TIU Error message. They all occur when the TIU is tethered to the remote:

  • The TIU has an ID# (1 through 5) that isn't present in the remote
  • The connecting cable between the TIU and the remote isn't a 4-conductor cable, or is otherwise defective
  • One of the pins inside the cable jack on the TIU, remote or both, has either a bent pin or a pin that's touching another pin.
