Re: Custom Park Position Weights Up
Please supply more details! How are you trying to set the park position? (APCC, ASCOM driver, A-P hand controller?)

Re: Strange numbers in APPM model

#Mach2GTO
Hi David,
The all-sky model requires data in a larger area of the sky to accurately determine the pointing terms, so you cannot count on the all-sky pointing terms being accurate with just a few rows

Re: V2 driver
Can you post a screenshot of what you are seeing?
For reference, you should see something like this:

Custom Park Position Weights Up
Is it possible to set a custom park position weights up? I slewed to my weights up position and set it to custom park however later when I use this custom park position it parks weights down and on

Strange numbers in APPM model
#APCC
#Mach2GTO
I've been using the Dec Arc feature, and it seems to work well. Thank you for implementing it. However, some of the numbers I'm getting for the model parameters are many orders of magnitude

Re: DEC Tracking test
Since the V2 driver can talk to APCC using a virtual COM port and my ATrack program uses COM port communications with Voyager, it would be easy to add a COM port command as above, sent to APCC.

Re: DEC Tracking test
Does this mean there is an API available for APCC for use by 3rd party software? If so I could build the 4 DEC arcs and when I switch targets ATrack could send a request to APCC to load a previously

Complex topic! I assume you refer to Meridian Limits.
I would suggest reading Section 6.16 (Meridian Limits) in the APCC documentation. It's the same section whether you have APCC Std or
