- Manual Goto – can the software send a command to move the rotator to a given position angle?
- Automatic Goto – can the software move the rotator, take an image, plate solve the result, and move the rotator to correct the error to obtain a given position angle?
- Does the software support direct connection? Note: ASCOM drivers are available for these as well so if the software connects to an ASCOM rotator, it will work with these rotators
- Also supports direct connect to RCOS PIR rotator and the discontinued Astrodon TAKOMETER rotator
- Also supports rotator via TheSkyX
