I have seen programs that allow you to program decoders from your PC using a dedicated cord to the command station. I have seen for Lenz, Atlas, and Digitrax but not MRC prodigy advanced. I have ordered this system but it will not arrive for another week. Their instructions may well have a program but I won’t know that till it arrives.
Can you help?

As far as I know, the Prodigy Advanced does not currently have any sort of computer interface available for it, so you are out of luck there. Will one be made available? Who knows.

Thanks Randy, I was afraid of that.

a couple of months ago i sent an email to MRC asking if there was a computer interface available for the Prodigy Advance . their answer was no , and there is none planned at this time . i was rather dissapointed as i like the looks of their handheld controller
No, you cannot program from a pc through the advance system. I have seen a system that goes from your pc to a seperate track to do programming though. This is the Digitrax PR-1. It is a stand alone programming tool that does not go through a dcc system. However, at present it is not compatable with any system higher than Windows98. Heres a link to info on it. Scroll down about half way.
