That is an ANTIQUE firmware! Version 43Eg is the latest version-- update the firmware--- and retrain-- etc etc-- enter TIME, DATE, SITE, Daylight Savings =YES and so forth...

Bottom of this page--

You will also need the ASU client software on the same page-- and the proper serial port cable from your computer to the plug on the bottom of the hand controller-- make sure the scope is turned off when you plug in the cable or remove the cable.

If you don't have the cable it can be purchased here-

If you only have USB ports you will ALSO need this-

I know lots of STUFF! But once you do all of this you will convert the ETX to full GOTO--
