Re: [APML] Calibrating STV axes independently

Thanks Jim!
So it would appear there is a sequence that has to be followed, or one
can get in trouble.
Steve Walters reported he was occasionally able to get the -V to work,
but couldn't explain why.

Let me double check the process you use--sorry I don't have mine here to
walk thru the steps.
Select Manual calibration, full menu.
Select star manually
Select a slew interval e.g.: 10 seconds
Select Relays 12
Select Next
When +/- slew of Relays 12 is complete
go back and select a new slew interval e.g.: 15 seconds 
Select Relays 34
Select Next
When +/- slew of Relays 34 is complete--what next?
View motion (?) followed by "Track"?

I have company coming for the weekend, or I'd be out trying it
tonight.
I need to get this sorted out before next new moon!!!

Thanks again Jim--I really appreciate your help!!
Steve
