PEM Curve

If you are upgrading from a previous version of the control box, you cannot reuse the curve from your
earlier CP1/CP2 or CP3 unit. You MUST use PEMPro, the GTO Keypad or other program to create a
new curve. Until this is done, leave PEM disabled.

Initializing your GTOCP4 for the First Time

Your new GTOCP4 control box must be initialized, but just what do we mean by initialize? Initialization
has three parts:
The initialization process tells the GTOCP4 your location (Latitude and Longitude), time and
time-zone.
Initialization either calculates your current pointing position, or else it allows calibration on a pre-
defined pointing position like an AP Park position.
Initialzation takes the mount out of a parked state and commences tracking at either the default
sidereal, or at a different rate if commanded.
