Log4OM

I am trying to integrate PST rotator with Log4OM. I think it's important to make clear that my version of PST rotator is using an ERC connected directly to my network switch, the PC is not connected to the rotator at all. So basically, any configuration I think has to be done using the remote settings, I believe.

On the logbook, if I go to settings> program configuration> antenna rotator (under software integration) and then make sure that PST Rotator is checked. Then, I assume I go to connections? This is where I'm stuck. Should I go into remote control?

If I go back to the PST rotator software I go into setup> trackers setup>Log4OM set up, I just have a box with a port number of 12040. That does correspond to the default port number on the logging software.


Any help would be appreciated

Hello Penn,

I have also ERC and is working fine.
In addition to what you mentioned, I also have:

1- Setup/ Controller - I have ERC-M (Rotor1) checked
2- On main view window "Mode" we need to have Tracking" checked.

Have a nice day.

Perfect, THX. Now I can see the path when I enter a callsign. Does the logbook software only show the path, can you turn the antenna using the logbook software?

Yes click the rotator icon on tool bar

For the life of me I cannot find any icon that will enable me to operate my rotator from the logging software. I know that you've got a couple of boxes with the short path and the long path, I thought that maybe you would click on this, however, it doesn't do anything.

Penn,
Assuming you have set it up correctly in the program configuration menus it works when you click the rotator buttons as below

No, mine doesn't move when I click on the short or long path. Not sure what I'd done wrong.

Then you have either set up Log4OM incorrectly or PSTRotator, see our user guide for instructions of how to set up Log4OM - Pages 147 and 148

As far as I can tell I've done everything correctly

What about the antenna rotator menu as in my second image?
