Mount Info not updating. EQ5-Pro to ASIAIR Plus

Cassiopeia1

I just recently got an ASIAIR plus.
Connected to HC port on the mount with EQMod cable. I can slew the mount and return to home etc so the connection is working.
However..should the time in the 'mount info' section be updating in real time?
It is stuck on 13:37(in this example) and stays there until I click 'sync to mount' and then it displays the correct UTC time but stays then stuck on that number.
I would have assumed that the time would be visibly updating in real time but I'm not sure as it's my first time using the unit...

I further tested the mount connection by turning on tracking and the AZ & Alt numbers do seem to update in real time..
Any suggestions?
Many thanks in advance.

Cassiopeia1 What app version/firmware are you using?

I'm using 2.1-10.74 with my HEQ5 Pro mount. Mine does the same - the time shown under Mount Information is the time when I first connect to the mount (which should be 1 hour behind your local time if your local time is Daylight Savings Time). It doesn't get updated.

This is how it has been for me and I've haven't had any issues using the ASIAIR with my HEQ5 Pro mount for unguided EAA (other equipment: C8 SCT, f/6.3 Focal Reducer, ASI294MC Pro camera).

Corsair Ah ok! Thank you very much.
So it is the time when first connected. That's good to know.
I assumed it was going to be the current time and hence, would update in real time.
I'm on 2.2.1(11.26) of the ASIAIR firmware.
On a related note. I read that DST should be turned off on the mount. The only way I could do this was to unplug the EQMod cable, plug in the Hand Controller and turn it off through that.
Don't know was that necessary or not?

Yep. That's how it has to be done. Once you've done it, though, you shouldn't have to do it again and can pack the hand controller away.
