I'm looking for a suggestion/guidance of how I can use my shack's Win10 desktop to run the SATRAN MK2.

I hope there's someone out there that has solved this issue....

Cheers, Richard

Some Guidance please ...

This indicates that the azimuth sensor is out of reach (a normal reading is approx 120-780); either a cable glitch or the azimuth has turned too far. To test it, open the /calibration page in a browser and manually turn the azimuth clockwise a few steps. If the sensor reading changes, just continue to turn clockwise until it has a reading of around 100 and then restart the rotator (unplug and reconnect power). If there is no change in the reading, there is a problem with the sensor/gear or any of the cables.
