Graphical Guider Log

New resizable and highly configurable graphical guider log. Plot guide star movement relative to camera axes or telescope axes. Monitor X Error, Y Error, X and Y Error on same graph, or X and Y Error on separate graphs. Optionally plot lines, including RMS trends. Control vertical scale and time span. Select time period for RMS error display. Display peak values with automatic or manual reset.

Guider Alarms

Configure guider alarm triggers, including exceeding N pixels for M guider cycles, and/or guide star fade for more than N cycles. Alert user with optionally repeating audible sound, and/or visual cue. Optionally execute script upon alarm.
