Position Calibration: start:
- From the User Guide it should move focuser to 25,00 mm position (active only if Custom type of focuser is chosen). In my case it is asking to do it manually with
UP and/or
DOWN buttons. After that calculate button must be pressed. Honestly, this part in User Guide is not very clear to me, will post it here for your analysis

Select Focuser model:
- There are 5 items in it: SteelTrack NT2, SteelTrack SC2, SteelTrack RT2, SteelTrack RT3 and Custom.
- NT2: MAX Trip 30, Gear Ratio 0,25040
- SC2: MAX Trip 30, Gear Ratio 0,25040
- RT2: MAX Trip 80, Gear Ratio 0,25040
- RT3: MAX Trip 115, Gear Ratio 0,25040
- Custom: It's my case. Why not SC2 if it is designed for my Schmidt-Cassegrain? Don't know for sure, but may be because the focuser I have can't actually reach 30, only 29,49 (on screenshot is a different number because I am playing with it, Gear Ratio seems not to be corresponding to Vernier scale)

IMPORTANT NOTE: All the parameters what can be written to the focuser are lost after disconnection. There is a way to save permanently - send
command!
If I haven't missed something this is the entire command set. If any questions - just ask!
P.S. There is a hidden command, purpose of which I don't understand at the moment:
