Astrometric Instruments: Product Line

Handpaddle Features:
•	Direction control buttons
	-	Provides control of telescope position and many other items (ex. focus motor, dome rotation, back-lit brightness, dew heater current) when used with other HP1 buttons.
	-	Large (for gloved hands)
	-	Backlit (to eliminate fumbling in the dark)
	-	Directions can be mirrored and/or inverted to compensate for optical path.
•	Selection of Track rate, four Pan/Correction rates or Slew rate

•	Three assignable keys, which can be individually programmed to provide one of many functions:
	-	Invert swaps the polarity of the Up and Down Direction control buttons.
	-	Mirror swaps the polarity of the Left and Right Direction control buttons.
	-	Turn off tracking, causing the telescope to drift with the rotation of the earth.
	-	Control the general purpose HighDrive outputs in a variety of behaviors
		o	Toggle
		o	Momentary
		o	OneShot
		o	PWM (Pulse Width Modulation) for dew heaters and illuminated reticle "blinking".
	-	Anchor moves the telescope back to the coordinate at which the last direction key was released.
	-	Hunt starts a square spiral search pattern.
	-	Wobble starts a slow telescope back and forward motion. Useful when observing dim objects.
	-	Mark present position for subsequent "Return" command.
	-	Return to previously "Marked" position.
	-	LastGoTo returns to the last commanded GoTo destination.
	-	CalFromEncoders updates current position, based on axial encoder position.
	-	TimeStamp accurately records present time and "delta" from last TimeStamp.
•	Brightness of backlit buttons and indicators are adjustable.
•	Built-in LED flashlight
