Manually editing calibration params for guiding

Is it possible to manually edit the guiding parameters that are determined during calibration? I would like to tweak a few things as an experiment.

I assume these are stored in a text format (JSON??) somewhere in the file system. If I connect to Ekos on an RPi from a Mac client, I also assume the parms would be stored on the RPi rather than the client. Correct?

Assuming they are editable, can someone give me the path?

Bill,

The calibration is stored in the parameters file. So, if you are on linux you can find that file in ~/.config/kstarsrc
Here's the line (from my dev system, not my real telescope):

SerializedCalibration=Cal v1.0,bx=2,by=2,pw=0.00375,ph=0.00375,fl=170,ang=275.421,angR=270.039,angD=190.803,ramspas=295.899,decmspas=250.12,swap=0,ra= 75:26:32,dec=02:47:50,side=0,when=2023-03-24 15:41:39,calEnd

If you want to understand all the various fields, check out the Calibration::serialize() and Calibration::restore() methods near here:

Also, I'm guessing you'd have to re-start KStars (not 100% sure) after you edited that file, for it to re-load the parameters from that file.
