Hi Jim,
I use it by computer and / or the control box
without any problems or even resetting it. Just stop the computer and
start using the box. I regularly use the box to position a star and
then use the computer to record corrections etc.

Subject: [APML] ST4 Computer

Hi APMLer's
I'm thinking about buying an inexpensive lap top to use
for focusing my ST-4 instead of going by the brightness readings like I
usually do. I don't want to actually run the ST-4 from the lap top. I only
want to use it to achieve focus then disconnect it to conserve the lap top
battery or just shut the laptop off. Does any one know if there would be a
problem with the ST-4 if it's disconnected from the computer or shut
off after I use it to focus? I don't know if it would loose the
settings i.e. BA, B, C1, C2 ect. or if it would keep those in it's memory.
I've never hooked it up to a computer before so I'm not sure.
Thanks for the help,
Jim
