Mark IV Control program



At long last I have a version of my Mark IV control program to share with
interested TASS members.

This is the program I wrote about a while back.  It runs on Windows 98 to
control a Mark IV camera.

You can get the program at http://home.fuse.net/deepsky/MarkIV.zip

Just place all the contents of the zip file into a directory and run the
executable.  It won't try to start the camera on the first try, you'll have
to run the Setup command on the Edit menu first.  The help file is fairly
substantial but not complete, just as the program is not complete.

When you run the program a couple of log files are generated in the image
output directory, command.log and stamp.log.  These files contain a list of
commands executed and low level stamp communications respectively so you can
see what the system was actually doing and when.

Many things need to be added and I need help making sure the system runs on
a computer other than mine.

I will publish the source code before too long on the same web site.


Let me know if you have any questions or comments.

Thanks,

Mike G.
