SMART FOCUS

Remotely control a JMI focuser or MOTOFOCUS unit using a PC with software — either

popular CCD software for automatic focusing or the included basic focus control software.

Smart Focus requires a DRO Encoder Assembly for a motorized JMI Focuser or MOTOFOCUS

unit (not included). Smart Focus includes a hand control unit, battery, A/C adapter, focuser/

encoder cable, serial cable and software (downloadable from our website). The computer (PC)

with Microsoft Windows™, encoder assembly and motorized focuser or MOTOFOCUS unit are

not included as part of the Smart Focus product. They must be purchased separately.

ENCODER ASSEMBLY FOR SMART FOCUS

The DRO Encoder Assembly includes the

digital encoder, connectors and mounting hard-

ware. The modular design of the EV Focuser

makes it easy to add an Encoder Assembly,

and a motor (also required for Smart Focus),

after the original purchase. Adding the Encoder

Assembly to MOTOFOCUS has the following

restrictions: 1) Usually not upgradable after purchase, 2) Requires special procedures or a slip

clutch for proper use with Smart Focus and 3) Using Smart Focus with an SCT focus knob is not

recommended due to mirror slop. (Call for details on your particular system.)

PC FOCUS CONTROL (PCFC)

PCFC replaces a regular hand unit with a mouse and software to control a DC focuser motor

from your PC through a USB port. It gives greater control of speed and duration of move-

ment than a hand unit and can control a JMI Focuser, MOTOFOCUS or other DC motor. No ex-

ternal power or batteries are required. There is no encoder feedback or positional display with

PCFC. If you desire computerized focus control with encoder feedback, see Smart Focus above.
