Hi Joe,

if you change the AP controller setting via software, the Keypad will
never be updated. If you power on your mount with the keypad plugged,
all parameters in the keypad will be send to the controller. If you
want to overwrite a setting with software, the only way to see the
updated setting will be by doing AP protocol command via a communication
software like Windows Hyper Terminal.

If I'm right, presently the offset for DST for EST region is supposed to
be equal to 4, your normal value less one.

Hope this help,

Yves Laroche

Hi Bill,
I tried doing your procedure below but did not see a time change on my hand
controller after pushing the button in Pulse Guide. Also, do you set the
time offset in pulse guide to the correct time zone? I am EST, so would I
put a time offset in pulse guide equal to 5?
Thank



Joe Marietta

I had similar behavior from my 900 after the time change for a couple of
nights. Ray's Pulse Guider fixed the problem nicely I found. I set the
keypad to the proper time zone and daylight savings settings over again,
set the laptop time from the internet atomic clocks and then used Pulse
Guider to reset the mount's time. Since then I have not had any strange 15
degree problems. Sorry can't help with tpoint though.

I have had nothing but grief since we changed to daylight saving
time. Will someone give me a list of things I need to do, or change when
the time changes, in addition to changing the clock on my computer? Last
night I finally realized that my dome program, Digital Dome Works, has a
DST setting that needs to be checked. It is behaving much better now. I
also have the DST setting fixed on the keypad, which I normally do not use
for startup anyway. My 1200 mount has not been flipping over at the
meridian, whether used with the keypad or with TheSky. Something wants to
put the telescope about 15 degrees too far "under" the polar axis before
flipping it over to the east side. Also, I thought I had finally licked
the TPoint question. Now I am way off on startup. And it occurs to be
that "way off" might be 15 degrees, which is suspiciously like another DST
button somewhere that needs pushed! Thanks for any help. Pat Madden
