Gabriel,?
So - you are not setting "5000" anywhere?
It is a result of or what is used by the program when doing autocalibrate??
I ask because I don't remember anywhere to set the pulse duration.?

Yes i was surprised too,
?
Thank you!
?
The calibration in PHD2 is automatic, so you just press and wait. PHD2 calculates the pulse to be sent for each calibration step from the values you have entered in the Profile, such as FL of the guidescope and guidespeed.
?
If the values are correct, the automatic PHD2 calibration will take 8-12 steps to complete in AZ and 8-12 steps to complete in ALT.?
?
However If it takes 50 steps or 5 steps then something entered when creating the profile like the guidespeed is incorrect.
?
When PHD2 is performing the calibration it is moving the mount pretty fast West then East, North then South (in order to understand how the mount is behaving), that's why the pulse is 5000ms with a slow guidespeed.
?
During guiding the pulses will be very small, yes below 500 ms, (even though i have a very slow guidespeed).
