Copying APPM Pointing Model to new computer


Larry Phillips
 

Ray or others, I have asked this question before but do not remember.  Where do I find the current pointing model on a current computer and to where do I copy it on a new computer?  I copied what I thought was correct, but the error data do not agree.  This is going from version 1.9.0.11 to 1.9.3.3.  Do the two versions interpret the data differently?

Hi Larry

the model is default to save to this path:

There aren't any differences between versions of APCC regarding the model, afaik

when you load the model, you should make sure to slew to zenith and solve/recal to sync the model (zenith i think, or perhaps celestial equator/meridian. not sure that makes a difference)

That was where I copied from and pasted to but look at the attachment and notice RMS on data point difference.  It begs the question is the new version incompatible with a model from an earlier one?

The top picture shows the model does not have Refraction enabled while the bottom does.
