Serial Interface and Coordinate Control Help

   Serial Interface and Local Coordinate Control allows direct connection to COM ports on your computer. It is designed to trasmit the payload horizon coordinates relative to the Observer's location across a RS-232 connection to a Meade Telescope mount. This can be done manually using the Serial Interface Control or automatically by clicking the Auto Coordinates button.

   The serial communication is facilitated through an ActiveX object. The install can be downloaded from ActiveX Installation.

   Firefox users should install the "IE Tab" Add-on to Firefox (v3 and up) in order to run ActiveX componants. This will give Firefox the ability to run ActiveX objects from within an 'IE tab'. Go to Tools->Add-ons, in the Search All Add-ons field; type "IE Tab". Once it is found, click the Add to Firefox... button.
