I've gone through the forums+documentation and have set up the simulator at home so that I could start to graduate to my full setup at New Mexico Skies.

At home. I'm unable to get to the final step of doing a v curve with Focusmax
(ver 3.6.0.71). When I start to run the first light wizard I keep getting the following error log :
