Save to Flash

When changes are made to the values on the Setup tab, they will remain active until the

mount is powered down unless you click the Save in Flash button. Note that while the

values are saved into flash memory, the motors are stopped. This does not mean that

position information is lost, just that the telescope will stop tracking at the sidereal rate

momentarily (approximately one-half second).
