Anyone know of an ASCOM utility to send periodic pulse guides?

I am still modelling my mount + SCT's apparent tracking performance. I am supicious the mount is running an arc minute an hour fast and ponder - does anyone know of a utility that will send a consistent pulse guide - e.g. slow down RA tracking by 1 arc second, every minute - to a an ASCOM mount?

I possible could open up the terminal COM port and send an ASCII text command - slow down or pulse guide, then go to sleep for 60 seconds.

Really interested in anyone thoughts. I'd love to nail tracking on an ASCOM mount!
