    Are you sure the interface you're using with the software is working? Check by seeing if any other decoders work, assuming you have any other decoders. You can also try reading the CVs with the DCC command station to see if you get the same thing. This will tell you if the problem is the decoders or the computer interface and software.

    If this is the first time you have tried using the software make sure it's configured correctly for your DCC setup. Decoder Pro has a "preference" setup that tells the software what interface hardware to use to talk to the DCC command station. Here's a link to the web page that contains the instructions:
    http://jmri.sourceforge.net/download/index.html
    Select the hardware you're using from the column on the left to get the specific settings to use.

    I've had the same problem using DecoderPro. I even disconnected DecoderPro and used my throttle to perform a CV8 to 08, and that didn't work. My resolution was to send to Digitrax for repair or replacement.

    Not sure where your getting the 256 from, but the highest value any CV can hold is 255.
