I did a telmech status and when I clicked in the Truss lamp window it showed the lamps which were on. At 09:07:30 John could not slew the telescope. John's try (TUI version 1.3): 9:07:25 .tcc.0 0 tcc I TCCStatus="TTT","NNN"; TCCPos=217.365,48.593,130.833; AxePos=217.364,48.594,130.833 09:07:25 .tcc.0 0 tcc I SpiderInstAng=171.742256,0.004213,4686714488.47000 09:07:29 .tcc.0 0 tcc I TrackAdvTime=6.32 09:07:30 .tcc.0 0 tcc W Facil="CLI"; VMSMsg="VALREQ"; EText="missing qualifier or keyword value - supply all required values" 09:07:30 CU02.stocke 111 tcc F Failed; Cmd="track 234.8880833, 34.4494444 FK5/RotAngle=+47/RotType=Object" My try a few seconds later (which worked fine): 09:07:45 204 tcc track 234.8880833, 34.4494444 FK5/RotAngle=47/RotType=Object 09:07:45 APO.Jack 204 tcc > Started; Cmd="track 234.8880833, 34.4494444 FK5/RotAngle=47/RotType=Object" 09:07:46 APO.Jack 204 tcc I AxisCmdState="Drifting","Drifting","Drifting" After investigating it looks like the + sign in the rotation is causing a problem.
