To operate the SkyMatic GoTo telescope from a computer, you have to connect it to a PC through
an RS-232 port. After this, you can use any planetarium software available today to send
commands to your telescope.
The transfer rate of SynScan™ AZ to PC connection is 9600 bps, without parity or stop bits. All the
commands from your PC are transferred using the binary scaling technique.
