What is there about the keypad that it would be delayed?Ā I thought all of the software issues would be in the control box.

Larry, AP can correct me if Iām wrong, but I suspect for example the modeling software runs on the keypad and the correction parameters are stored in the CP5.Ā

The keypad is getting updated databases for new objects (stars, double stars, deep sky objects etc). As well as some other cool features.

The keypad program has actually been totally rewritten using newer procedures and commands, which is why it must be used with the GTOCP4 or CP5. The startup routines are easier and there are other goodies. Sorry, we donāt have a complete list at this time to share. Ā Most of the program part has been completed and we are reviewing the databases and freshening them up, as well. Ā Weāll have more info soon since development is nearing completion.

Thanks Mark! So to be sure I understand, my friend who bought my AP1100 will be able to update his GTOCP4 with all these goodies too?

Must be used with GTOCP4 or GTOCP5 (CP5 is for Mach2GTO only). This is due to the more advanced command language and pointing precision that is only available in these control boxes. The software of the GTOCP4 itself will have to be updated, which can be done online. We will have more information regarding the downloadable upgrade when the time comes.

the links to APCC v1.8.0.0 are not working correct. They lead you to an older version. Greetings

I would also like to have it ... because, in addition, it would be useful for me to translate it into French before mine is there. Thanks Dominique
