USING A DIFFERENT COMPUTER WITH AN ESTABLISHED PARAMOUNT ME
ISSUE
I have a new computer that I want to use with my Paramount ME, and my previous computer works perfectly with it. How do I get my new computer to use all the settings and TPoint model from my old computer so I don't have to start from scratch?
RESOLUTION
TheSky6 Professional Edition
After installing the latest versions of the Paramount ME-related software (TheSky6, CCDSoft, TPoint, Orchestrate, etc.) on the new computer, copy the following files from the earlier computer to the new computer:
-
Normal.sky (this has your TPoint model embedded). Location: /Software Bisque/TheSky6/Documents folder.
-
MKSOptions.dat (settings specfic to the MKS controller). Location: /Software Bisque/TheSky6 folder.
-
Paramount ME.cfg (general telescope settings). Location: /Software Bisque/TheSky6/Documents folder.
TheSkyX Professional Edition
-
Install TheSkyX Professional Edition to the new computer.
-
Exit TheSkyX if it is running.
-
See
Backing Up or Copying Settings in the user guide for details how to replicate TheSkyX (including the TPoint model) on the second computer.
