BYE/BYN Communications with PHD2 Server - which of these Msg sequences?

[s3igell]

The Devs at OpenPHD2Guiding have released a PHD2LogViewer which looks for a certain Message Sequence from the Requesting App in order to track and discount Dither-through-Settle from the Guiding Stats.

This functionality depends upon a certain sequence of Requests received by the PHD2 Server.  Does BYE utilize that Sequence ??

No, BYE/BYN does not send that sequence.  This is because they did not exist in PHD1 (if my memory serves me right) and BYE/BYN is backward compatible.

In case you are not aware, you can use this: http://countingoldphotons.com/phdlab-intro/ tool, and just use the zoom and start stop controls to look at a section between dithers.

Yes, I'm quite familiar with PHDLabs, and it has the same Issues (and same workaround) with Dithers and Settle Periods as Andy G's new PHD2LogViewer.

 

I'm intrigued by PHD2LogViewer because it is designed to be compatible with PHD2 - both the Legacy and the New Server versions and the New Log versions - partly because of its origin by one of the main Contributors to the current PHD2 Dev Team.
