SkyViewer The functionality for this selection was discussed previously in this manual. Please see page 6. Utilities Connect StarSense - Prompts CPWI to find and connect to the StarSense AutoAlign accessory. If the StarSense camera is already connected to the mount upon initial connection to CPWI, this command is not necessary since CPWI will automatically find and connect to StarSense AutoAlign. Connect Focuser- Prompts CPWI to find and connect to the Celestron Focus Motor. If the Celestron Focus Motor is already connected to the mount upon initial connection to CPWI, this command is not necessary since CPWI will automatically find and connect to the focus motor. Connect GPS - Prompts CPWI to find and connect to the Celestron SkySync GPS (or the older CN16 GPS). If the Celestron GPS accessory is already connected to the mount upon initial connection to CPWI, this command is not necessary since CPWI will automatically find and connect to the GPS accessory. Gamepad Setup-- If you have a PC Gamepad that supports XInput, then you can use it to control the mount. You can also use it to control the optional Celestron Focus Motor. Selecting "Gamepad Setup" will cause the Gamepad Configuration window to appear. Use the drop-down menu under the Control column to define how each function is controlled by the Gamepad. For the "Slew RA/ Azm", "Slew Dec/Alt", and "Move Focuser" functions, these will typically be controlled by the Gamepad joysticks. If you want to reverse the directions of the joysticks for any of these commands, select the "Invert" checkbox in the Modifier column. For the "RA/ Azm Activate" and "Dec/Alt" Activate" functions, these will typically be controlled by the Gamepad buttons (or triggers). These "activate" controls only allow the joysticks to work to slew the mount when the button is pressed, this prevents any accidental slewing if the joysticks are accidentally moved. In the Modifier column, you can use the drop-down menu to reverse the polarity of the buttons - the mount will only move if the buttons are not pressed. Mouse over each selection in the window for more information. There is one base speed range and two Speed Range "boost" functions which boost the range by 8x and/or 64x respectively. These boost functions can work in tandem, and by default both speed boosts are active when the buttons are released and deactivated when you press the buttons. The polarity of these buttons can be reversed using the selections in the Modifier column. This allows you to choose any of the four overlapping ranges as the "preferred" range that operates when no button is pressed. The table below indicates the speed ranges and the equivalent hand control MOTOR SPEED rates. Base x8 Active x64 Active x8 Active and x64 Active Speed Range 1 arcsec/sec to 1 arcmin/sec 8 arcsec/sec to 8 arcmin/sec 1 arcsec/sec to 1 deg/sec 1 arcsec/sec to 4 deg/sec* Hand Control Motor Speed Equivalent rate 0 to rate 3 rate 1 to rate 5 rate 3 to rate 7 rate 5 to rate 9* * up to max speed of mount 18
