calibration/guiding unavailable when SBIG camera connected via eithernet (legacy i/f)

[GoogleCodeExporter]

What steps will reproduce the problem?

1. connect to an SBIG camera with integrated guider via ethernet
2. set exposure time, take darks.
3. select star; PhD button is still greyed out

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?

expected is that the PhD button activates, instead is not clickable.

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?

2.1.1a, OSX 10.8.5

Please provide any additional information below.

Rob, could you please provide some additional details: in the Connect Equipment 
window, what specifically were your selections for Camera and Mount?
Also, could you please attach a copy of the PHD_DebugLog from the session?
Thanks,
Andy

i *think* this is the log in question. i think i asked for SBIG, then Ethernet, 
and on-camera mount control.

the log does show an error getting the guider size, so that probably has 
something to do with the problem.

That log appears to be truncated, it only goes for about 6 seconds elapsed 
time, and does not have any info about when you connect your equipment. Do you 
have the full log, or could you get a new log that exhibits the problem?

i will probably have to get a new one, but they are necessarily going to be 
short, because i can't actually do anything past grabbing a few frames from the 
camera. when i select a star, the 'guide' button remains grey so i can't start 
the calibration. 

i killed my mount the other night and since the RA gearbox is off of it i can't 
put a scope on it. i have another mount and if i swap it in i'll be able to 
re-try.

I did see one thing in the truncated log: it looks like you have selected the 
AO Simulator. You need to change that to AO None. The AO simulator really only 
works with the camera simulator and will not work when you have real gear 
connected.

I'm not sure if this is related to your problem (won't know till we see a full 
log), but I figured I should mention it anyway.

could be. i do know that after more thrashing i connected to the guider via USB 
(just to see if it would work at all) and it did work. don't know if i changed 
the AO settings. of course that precluded me from controlling the imager except 
via HTTP, so i didn't spend much time on that. anyway if i get motivated i'll 
put the G11 back on the tripod and try again tonight - thanks.

I talked with Rob and this appears to no longer be an issue. Message from Rob:

"i just tried this against the last beta i had installed and the bug is there, 
however, against 2.2.0 it seems to be working fine.

so i guess you can close it. it's still calibrating but at any rate i can 
select a star and begin calibration; in 2.1.1a i could not get that far."
