=Fixing the web browser for ACP=

Download and run the file from here:- [] =Sitech Controller Configuration=



Note that the slew speed is now 1 dps. Also the ticks are both increased by X5 due to new gearing installed.

=Sitech controller setup=

Note that the vesion used is V0.53H. This was required (March2009) to fix a problem between ACP and Sitech. The offset slew after platesolving would not be completed. Thsi is now fixed.

Email from Dan:- Hi Dave, I found the trouble I think. When ACP issued a Synch, the SiTech Synch window would come up, but even before this happened, ACP was told that the synch was finished, so this is probably the problem. I have fixed it, and it appears to work now.
