Re: Questons about using Guide with Bartels Board

Mel, I know you have a lot of functionality in Scope.exe, but it is
all command line based. What is really needed is for the
Interfacing program to handle what gets communicated to Scope, and
allow it to run by parameters passed. When these two combine, they
will be hard to beat.
I have yet to check out the mechanical error correction you put
in. Everytime I move my setup, I have to start over, which really
slows me down. My fault for not having a permanent setup.
