Greg,
There is no direct upload capability.
You use pempro to aquire the data after doing a mount calibration routine. It connects to skyx and ccdsoft, takes image. finds a star then aquires the data for as many worm cycles as you allow
It gathers data. Then you generate a PEC curve using highest order that keeps RMS from growing. i used quadtratic.
Once done there is a button that says"Create Paramount PEC file"
All this does is take the curve and copies it into memory and also notepad. Make sure you copy to notepad and save it in case you need it later.
You then go to bisque TCS in the skyX , clear current curve. Then click the paste button. It pastes the curve into tcs. You then choose save to mount and it updates the PEC table.

Were you able to upload the PEMPRO PE curve into the PMX or do you have to load and play PEMPRO everytime you use the PMX and PEC?
I did a PEC on my PME using PEMPRO and it would not upload the curve even though it had a menu button to do that. I assumed at the time it was because I was using a trial version of PEMPRO and that the upload function was disabled as you really only have to do PEC once and the curve is valid for a long time.
