Show Status Tab - Paramount Fitness ME II User Manual

Show Status Tab

The spreadsheet on the top of Status tab shows the current control system and motor status values for
both the right ascension and declination axes. These values are useful for verifying the current tracking
rate, slew limit conditions and other control system settings.

Description
Shows the value of the mount's current position.
Shows the current encoder position for both axes. For each axis, the
current encoder value changes when mount is tracking; it remains fixed
when not tracking.
Shows a number that represents the incremental tracking rate (above or
below the sidereal rate).
When the mount is tracking at the sidereal rate, values for both RA and
Dec are zero. If either rate is non-zero, the mount is tracking at a non-
sidereal rate.
See the Set Track Rates command in TheSkyX Professional Edition User
Guide details about setting tracking rates.
Shows an internal motor status value.
