Introduction
Your new Focusmaster is the link necessary for computer readout and control of Tele Vue’s Digital Indicator Kit and
Focusmate Driver. Focusmaster was designed to be easy and convenient to use, from its in-line connectors which
allow easy draping of cables to the TVFocusPlus display/control software. Focusmaster is compatible with ASCOM
compliant focusing software.

Digital Micrometer to Focusmaster: Connecting
the Indicator measuring device to the Focusmaster
requires the optional cable (RSC-2320). This cable
contains electronics that provide power from the
computer to the indicator and also reliably senses
and transmits indicator movement to the computer.

First remove the indicator’s battery tray. Remove

the two screws using a jeweler’s Philips head screw
driver and pry out the battery tray with the tip of the
screw driver. Slide the electronics end of the cable
into the indicator with the electronic contact side
down. Reinsert the screws to hold the cable in the
indicator. Next, plug the other end of the cable
into the Focusmaster’s port labeled “Indicator
(RS232)” and tighten the hold-down screws.
