APCC Standard v1.8.2.0 and APCC Pro v1.8.2.1
Ray Gralak
Hello All,
I am announcing the availability of APCC Standard 1.8.2.0 and APCC Pro 1.8.2.1 (links below). Most of the changes are bug fixes and are itemized here: APCC - BUG Fix - Tracking rates were not working correctly for the GTOCP3 in 1.8.1.1. APCC - BUG FIX - Prevent Mach 2 from setting HOME to be anything other than Park 3. APCC - BUG FIX - The ASCOM driver can send values in exponential notation when the value is near zero. APCC was rejecting this exponential notation. APCC - BUG Fix - Commands starting with "G_" were rejected. APCC - BUG Fix - Clear flashing scope view when user clears all errors. APCC - BUG FIX - Settings were not always being correctly saved. APCC - BUG Fix - Prevent possible overflow in Meridian Limits Add Point dialog. APCC - BUG FIX - Horizons - some of the menus did nothing. APCC - BUG FIX - Horizons - Fixed a number of display bugs and made the displayed data more useful. APCC - BUG Fix - fixed an integer overflow error that would happen occasionally. APCC Pro - BUG FIX - APPM - Slew would sometimes fail to appear to complete thus stalling data mapping runs. APCC Pro - BUG Fix - tracking rate correction was not always saved correctly. APCC - Improvement - Moved virtual port handlers to their own threads to reduce latency when user interface elements are updated. APCC - Improvement - In the Meridian Tracking Limits Explorer dialog window, add a button to update Meridian Inclination.

Thanks, Ray. Worked for me too. Glad you're announcing updates here.

Ray, I always watch the threads on all updates. When do you plan to update the website for the 1.8.2.1? Your attached email with the links does not work and I even tried the embedded links in the email and that didn't work. I think the only place I can download is from the Astro-physics website. that works fine. thanks. Also, if you have another moment to answer a very simple question, call it old age or anything else, but when using APCC, and I always get confused right off the bat regarding the tabs that are highlighted for use and the others that are grayed out....which is which? To me its like tornado watch and warning.......reason is I can never simply look and understand which is which and which is available when I am parked or not parked and seems its just not clear enough, don't know if any one has ever commented on this. What about obvious colors to use? Shaded and unshaded just doesn't get me to what i need to see. If they were colorized tabs , if they were Red and green, Red is not available to select, green is, I would know what to use but your tabs are shaded and unshaded, I know, i Know , geez what must one do to satisfy!!!! Anyway, that's my question.. thanks. SO what I usually get hung up is at initial start up, I go to park 2 then turn on the scope, then pull up APCC, then connect, then I go to park screen and try to figure out what to do, So I'm parked now, do I unpark first, of course , then if so what tab, etc.......I'm usually OK when I'm closing up shop and go to park 2 and then park there. then shut down every thing. Any help or short cuts or understanding this a little better I would appreciate. thanks. Leon Fasano

APCC - BUG FIX - Settings were not always being correctly saved. APCC - BUG Fix - Prevent possible overflow in Meridian Limits Add Point dialog. APCC - BUG FIX - Horizons - some of the menus did nothing. APCC - BUG FIX - Horizons - Fixed a number of display bugs and made the displayed data more useful. APCC - BUG Fix - fixed an integer overflow error that would happen occasionally. APCC Pro - BUG FIX - APPM - Slew would sometimes fail to appear to complete thus stalling data mapping runs.

Anyway, that's my question.. thanks. SO what I usually get hung up is at initial start up, I go to park 2 then turn on the scope, then pull up APCC, then connect, then I go to park screen and try to figure out what to do, So I'm parked now, do I unpark first, of course , then if so what tab, etc.......I'm usually OK when I'm closing up shop and go to park 2 and then park there. then shut down every thing. Any help or short cuts or understanding this a little better I would appreciate. While I defer to A-P and Ray Gralak, I think you may be overworking this. If you have got everything set in Settings-> Edit Initial Mount Settings along with the AP Driver, then you should be able to startup APCC and be ready to slew to a target. When you finish, you can just power down the mount; although I choose to Park 4 due to observatory roof clearance. Bryan

Hi Ray,
I'm glad you're still updating APCC, but I wish you would announce the new versions here or anywhere. From another user's problem, I happened to find out today that there is a new 1.8.3.1 version. Along with others, my install of APCC never alerts to a new version. All I ever get is: "You are running this version of APCC: 1.8.2.1" (whatever version it might be) "The latest version of APCC is:" (BLANK LINE) "OK" button I hope you will try to inform those of us in this situation.

Hi Ray, Perhaps there is another mechanism to check for updates within APCC that doesn't use any .net protocols. For example, from my experience, PEMPro always alerts me when there are available updates. cytan

I'm glad you're still updating APCC, but I wish you would announce the new versions here or anywhere.I won't always announce every build immediately. It depends on the criticality of the build and if I would like to get feedback first before announcing it. I may even skip announcing a version if it looks like another needs to be released soon. -Ray Gralak Author of APCC (Astro-Physics Command Center): https://www.astro-physics.com/apcc-pro Author of PEMPro V3: https://www.ccdware.com Author of Astro-Physics V2 ASCOM Driver: https://www.siriusimaging.com/apdriver -----Original Message-----

Perhaps there is another mechanism to check for updates within APCC that doesn't use any .net protocols. ForPEMPro and APCC use exactly the same mechanism which leads me to believe, at least in your case, either Windows firewall or your AV program is blocking APCC. -Ray Gralak Author of APCC (Astro-Physics Command Center): https://www.astro-physics.com/apcc-pro Author of PEMPro V3: https://www.ccdware.com Author of Astro-Physics V2 ASCOM Driver: https://www.siriusimaging.com/apdriver -----Original Message-----

There are several of us that have made the same observation in this thread about the lack of notification. That reduces the likelihood of MS or AV being the cause. What info can we provide to help suss this out? One common factor may be APPC Pro versus Standard, which strikes me as odd, since they likely use the same mechanism. P.S. What is your process for getting feedback, if the users do not know about the new build? Bryan

Offhand I can't think of anything besides the version of .Net Framework that is different between PEMPro and APCC. Of course standard and pro APCC use the exact same routine and .Net Framework version. That said, this weekend I need to finish a build for PEMPro that will work with the 62MP Sony sensors so it will have to wait until next week before I can take a look at the "check for updates" logic again. -Ray Gralak Author of APCC (Astro-Physics Command Center): https://www.astro-physics.com/apcc-pro Author of PEMPro V3: https://www.ccdware.com Author of Astro-Physics V2 ASCOM Driver: https://www.siriusimaging.com/apdriver
