Having trouble connecting to PHD2

I have a Lodestar guider and I’m using PHD2. However, SGP doesn’t seem to communicate with PHD2 even though PHD2 is open and has the server mode enabled. What could I be doing wrong? Many thanks, Rick

My Equipment Profile Manager is set to Interface: PHD2, Dither: High Dither.

Here’s some additional info that might be illuminating. The sequence doesn’t autofocus initially even though the Auto Focus before sequence start (not on resume) is checked. Something isn’t kicking in properly. What should I check? Many thanks. Rick

Ok, Got this working. Here’s how. Even though the sequence profile was correct, I had to File>Apply Profile to Sequence in order to get it to work. Seems like this should be automatic. For example, I opened the program and loaded the Sequence but the most recent version of the profile hadn’t been applied. I had to do it manually. Thanks for such a great program. Rick
