Switching setup configurations

[spectrasouth]

Sometimes I need to switch between different cameras or other hardware and software configurations, so is it possible to do this in PRISM?

Cheers,

Good morning Bernard

Thank you for your question. You can save different camera configurations and reload them as you please, this especially helpful someone with a CCD and a DSLR for example. The other pieces of hardware can be switched very easily in their respective tabs.

I am attaching the camera profile tab, you can see a save and load buttons at the bottom which enable you to have multiple camera profiles.

Please let me know if i can be of any further help.

Thanks

Hi Hamza,

Ok, I can now see how different camera configurations are saved, but is there anyway to save different complete (all hardware, software and Skychart settings) configurations? For example, if I want to use my laptop to run two different observatories (my situation) is there one loadable file unique to each observatory that I can load to restore all PRISM settings for that observatory?

Cheers,
Bernard

Hi Bernard

Yes, That feature is available and will produce a file that will include all your settings ( skychart, equipment, etc..). Go to Settings > Software setup management > Save software setup to file. This way, you can have multiple configuration at your fingertips.

Tip: I use dropbox as a universal medium to save my configuration files so they are accessible everywhere

Please let me know if I can be of any assistance and thanks for raising a great question.
