Either control box will do what the program tells it to do.

SatPC32 will decide when to move the rotors, and issue the command to the control box, using either of two different methods.

One method will be to move the rotors after a set time elapses, and the other will move the rotors based upon how much the position of the satellite changes.

Both of these methods have adjustable parameters, which are set under the Setup/Rotor Setup/Optional Settings tabs reached from the tabs located at the top of the screen.

The defaults are either 15 seconds per update, or 5 degrees per update. Check your settings, and adjust as required.

For the second time in three years, the my az rotor on my G5500 has stopped working. I bought it brand new and I'm using an Easy Rotor Controller for an interface. I noticed that when the rotor is swinging around after reaching its stop that every time SatPC32 sends an updated position to it, it will stop for about a second and then start moving again. I'm not sure if this repeated start-stop is causing the problem. Does the LVB Tracker do the same thing?

Thanks
