Migration of user defined objects and plans

cpl42

I own 2 ASiair Pluses that I have set up for use with different mounts. I would like to transfer any of my defined objects and plans between these units. Is there a way of doing this? If not, then perhaps ZWO could consider a way of doing it, especially if it could be stored on an intermediate device (PC/Tablet/phone). It would need to be a merging operation, with perhaps, a replacement option between the units. A non-editable file would suit, as it would stop the urge to tinker with the contents.

cpl42 ASIAIR does not have this function yet, we also received similar demand from other customers, will consider this in the future.

Tech@ZWO Hi,
I add myself to the list of those interested by this function :-) I bought recently a new ASI Air plus to operate 2 setups simultaneously and it would be great to be able to transfer plans, dark libs, and so on from an asiAir to another one.
In order to have "ready to go" setups, I aim to attach a dedicated asiAir to the material cases and I could use more than 2 in the future.
For dark libs, i suppose it is possible just to copy the fits file corresponding to the master dark on the new AsiAir (i did not try it yet). For plans, as the import function exists through CSV format, i suppose it's not a long way to code the export function through the same format, or, with more metadata than coordinates (especially number of frames, duration, gain...), a "JSON like" format with export/import dedicated to AsiAir.
Thanks for the regular developments of this good product.

Thanks for the update. I'll watch out for this in a future release, although it is not a big problem for me right at this moment. I can forsee, however, running two rigs simultaneously in the near future (2-4 months), and the plan and/or defined target being on the opposite ASiair. And it's unlikely to be a 1-off situation, going on into the future.
