FWIW, looks to me like the two softwares show the same pattern, but PEMPRO is using a different (wrong) timebase (it is only showing 1/2 the cycle) and TSX is possibly using an optimistic conversion of pixel error to arc sec (results in it displaying roughly half the actual error?). That might suggest a very thorough going over the setting for the two programs to get the same timebases, focal lengths, pixel sizes etc. and ensure that dec correction is on in TSX (actually, come to think of it, that could be one place where they might have issue getting the correction right for the southern hemisphere). Again FWIW, maybe put aside TSX and try getting PEMPRO to generate full length PE cycles (that is if it isn't doing so now).
you might be onto something there Ray ... let me look into it a bit more, i am not sure why it would be doing that
