    Hello,

    According to the FAQs there is an "SBIG USB to FW" driver software for using the Dual Filter wheel setup with TSX (https://forum.diffractionlimited.com/threads/using-dual-sbig-afw-filter-wheels-with-theskyx.9022/). When I visit the products page (https://diffractionlimited.com/product/usb-fw/) I do not see a downloads section for software. Where can I locate this software and download it? Is this software necessary for MaxIm DL to control the dual AFW-10-50SQ filter wheel setup?

    Regards,
    Casey

    The software only works with the USB to FW adapter box, and is provided when you purchase said box.

    The ASCOM driver provides dual wheel functionality.

    Is the software provided in an email, CD, or USB? Presently, I only see hardware components in the box that the adaptor box was shipped in.

    It's on a small USB memory stick, which is usually in a zip-lock clear plastic baggy stapled to the packing slip inside the box.
