Prohibit Tracking Below the
Lower Altitude Limit
When set to 1, the mount will stop tracking at the lower altitude limit
defined in TheSky Professional’s Telescope, Telescope Limits, Lower
Altitude Limit tab. When set to 0, the mount will continue tracking until
tracking is turned off, or the mount encounters a physical hardware limit
which causes tracking to turn off automatically.
Motor Parameters
Index Angle
The Paramount’s DC servomotors require a unique motor index angle
that is used during motor initialization. The motor index angles are
preset at the factory, and should not be altered unless instructed to do so
by Software Bisque.
• For the Paramount ME, the motor’s index angle is affixed to a sticker
on the motor, and can also be viewed on the Control System
Parameters report (page 122).
• For the Paramount ME, Paramount MX, Paramount MX, and
Paramount MYT, the motor index angles are 200 for the hour angle
axis, and 3850 for the declination axis.
Replacement MKS 5000 boards are normally pre-programmed with the
correct motor index angles before the mount is shipped.
EMF Constant
This value is based on DC servo motor type and motor size.
Max Voltage
Always set to 15.
Max Gain
Always set to 150.
Max Position Error
The maximum number of encoder tics from target before the Bisque TCS
aborts slewing or tracking and begins to emit position error beeps.
