96RAF Posted April 13, 2016 Share Posted April 13, 2016 What it needs is to be able to export the loco database file into Excel then you could pick and choose what you printed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yelrow Posted April 13, 2016 Share Posted April 13, 2016 Pardon my simplicity, but each sound loco comes with a printed list of functions, and cvs. Surely by scanning this, then printing you could achieve that what you desire. john Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RB51 Posted April 13, 2016 Share Posted April 13, 2016 You can print the CV settings for each loco. You have to get each loco up on the loco list screen, read the decoder settings, which will take a long time (or a range you are interested in, which will be a couple of minutes probably) and then you can print them from an icon on the settings page. The print option is not versatile and prints all CV's whether they hold a value or not which results in 4, mostly blank, pages. There was a request for this to be altered to print only CV's where there was a value but I don't think this is implemented yet, and of course might never be. I'm not able to check at the moment.

Yelrow Posted April 13, 2016 Share Posted April 13, 2016 Rog, hi,he is gonna need shares in a paper/ink company. Do you find, as i do, that modern printer ink, goes nowhere. You can buy 500 sheets of paper for £2.40, here, but ink cart, are £24. john Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RB51 Posted April 13, 2016 Share Posted April 13, 2016 Yes, that is the downside to it - the answer is to read and print only CV's 1 - 29 (or so) and then you get only one page. Yup, a ream of paper in Tesco's is £2.50 and my ink cartridges are £11 each since the clever little gizmo inside the printer recognises compatibles - and won't work!

RDS Posted April 13, 2016 Share Posted April 13, 2016 ... since the clever little gizmo inside the printer recognises compatibles - and won't work ... Just peel off the 'chip' from the genuine ones and put it on the compatible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RB51 Posted April 13, 2016 Share Posted April 13, 2016 Really? Are there no internal gubbins? R- Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RDS Posted April 13, 2016 Share Posted April 13, 2016 Really? Are there no internal gubbins? R- Not on the HP ones I tried. It was basically just a self adhesive sticker and it did allow the use of cartridges that had previously been rejected by the printer as 'invalid' or whatever term it used.

Howbi Posted April 13, 2016 Share Posted April 13, 2016 I buy printer ink in 60ml bottles, drill holes in the top of the cartridges and refill as required then fit bungs in the holes to seal up.........saves ££££££££'s..... 😎... HB. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

96RAF Posted April 16, 2016 Share Posted April 16, 2016 All I ever got by refilling ink cartridges was covered in ink. Then when I tried them the original cartridge fun police kicked in and rejected my offerings. Now I see you can fool them by peeling off the stickers for onward use, although I always thought these hologram stickers self destroyed when peeled.

GWR Greg Posted April 16, 2016 Share Posted April 16, 2016 If RM has the decoder set up you only print the cv's the decoder uses. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stephenknicholson Posted April 27, 2016 Share Posted April 27, 2016 What it needs is to be able to export the loco database file into Excel then you could pick and choose what you printed.Railmaster stores its data in a MS Access format file called resource.mdb. You can open in MS Access or MS Excel. The CV values are in a single field per record, so they are a little tricky to format if you wanted to print them. NB if you decide to have a go at this, I suggest creating a copy of the above file to "play with" or at the very least open with a read only connection to the database.By the by, I have created my own loco db and linked it to the Rersource db to access the extra useful data it contains. Although I would prefer if Hornby could extend the functionality of their Railmaster application to allow storage of additional loco information - as I dont think it would be too difficult to do./media/tinymce_upload/adf9cb7037870774363c01133b7f4adb.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
St1ngr4y Posted April 28, 2016 Share Posted April 28, 2016 Stephen,Which version of MS Access or Excel do you need to do this? Do you need any file conversion add-ons?Ray Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
