ZWO Filter Wheels and ASCOM

Description

ZWO Filter Wheel IDs in SGPro

Useful Info

I’m trying to figure out a couple of things about how SGPro identifies and connects to ZWO Filter Wheels. I have two filter wheels in my setup. In SGPro, I have them named “FLTWheel” and “CDKWheel”, referring to the telescope they are connected to. It seems like those names are just “labels” used in SGPro for user convenience. To associate each name with a particular Filter Wheel, I have to go to the “Filters” tab of the Control Panel or Equipment Profile and hit the settings button and select the ASCOM “ID” for the wheel I want associated with that name. Is that correct? If I do this in the Sequence window (hit the “Gear” button next to the FIlter Wheel name), I can select the ID for a particular wheel and it seems to work for that session but doesn’t work right for the following sessions (i.e., closing SGPro and then starting it up again). What is the difference (in SGPro) when I select a particular ASCOM ID for the filter wheel in Control Panel vs. Equipment Profile vs. Sequence?
