PCFC controls a DC focuser motor from your PC through a USB port. Basically, it replaces a regular
hand unit with control from a computer using a mouse. It gives greater control of speed and duration
of movement than a regular hand unit. It can control EV Focusers, NGF Focusers, RCF Focusers,
MOTOFOCUS, MOTODEC and other motors. No batteries are required. There is no encoder feedback or
positional display with PCFC. If you desire focus control with encoder feedback, please see Smart
Focus.
