What type of connector are you using to connect the tester to the programmer ( yellow connectors )

Old Marklin connectors.

Is it mandatory to have a decoder tester or no?

[@dcctrain]

No, but it is helping to test and ajust decoder before installing.

How is the loco getting power/data? Just seems to be resting on a piece of plastic.

[@dcctrain]

This is great question!

It's not!? The decoder and the decoder tester does all the work in this video :0) The loco is just there for illustration
