Copy Custom PEC Table (Copy Button)
Click this button to copy the current periodic error correction table values from the graph to the Clipboard in ASCII

• The zero-based PEC table index.
• The relative mount-specific periodic error correction.
Column values must be separated by a minimum of one space character (no tabs), with carriage return line feed
pairs at the end of the line.
The following text shows an example ASCII PEC table.
