Using EASYX you can:

- Maintain a locomotive roster (including locomotive and decoder manufacturer and model)

- Display Command Station memory (handy for problem solving)
- Add, update and remove consists (both standard and advanced)
- Change locomotive speed step settings and function settings
- Operate locomotives
- Dump your locomotive roster to a text file
- Dump your decoder CV settings to a text file
- Program custom speed tables and transfer them from one loco to another
What you need to use EASYX:
- An EasyDCC Command Station (well, duh)
- A personal computer (PC) configured to run DOS (or a DOS window)
- A special serial cable connected between the RS-232 port on your EasyDCC Command Station and the serial port (COM1 or COM2) of your PC. Contact CVP or consult your EasyDCC manual for more information on this special cable
How to run EASYX:
- Create a directory for EASYX
- Download EASYX.EXE Version 1.3 and save it in your EASYX directory
- Run EASYX (either double-click on it from windows, or open an MS-DOS window, then CD to your EASYX directory and type "EASYX")
Note! Your Command Station must support extended addressing in order for you to be able to use EASYX. If you have an old version of the Command Station firmware (2-digit addressing only) EASYX will blow up real good if you try to use it.
