Quark Remote Ready Power/Data Cable

This cable allows a Remote Ready Quark, Gemini, or Sol Telescope to be remotely controlled via a USB connection to a Windows computer.  Includes an international power supply and attached USB data cable.

Allows remote modification of the filter's tuning, putting the filter to sleep, and monitoring the status of the filter.  While the filter is remote controlled, the hardware control knob setting is ignored.

Plug the USB Micro-B connector into the Quark, Gemini, or Sol telescope.  Plug the USB A connector into your Windows computer or laptop.  Plug the power supply into a 100-240V AC power source using one of the included international plugs.

If your computer has a USB data port rated for 2 amps output, you can connect the filter directly. THIS IS NOT COMMON, so most people will need this cable.

Your solar filter must have factory installed firmware v6.20 or later for Quark or Sol Telescopes, or v9.20 or later for Gemini. If your firmware version is older, you will be able to monitor the filter and put it to sleep, but no remote wing shifting will be possible. Older filters can be returned to the factory and upgraded for a small fee.
