Astrophysics Experimental driver and meridian delay

Hello,

Using the Astrophysics experimental driver, I would like to slew my AP900 CP3 mount to a star located in the south-east part of the sky (say 10 degrees east of the meridian), with the counterweigth somewhat above the scope, so that when the star crosses the meridian, the counterweight will move lower than the scope, with no need of a meridian flip, and no disruption of the imaging session. I can do that manually using the handset (AP documents that feature very neatly), but would like to use the indi driver to achieve the same.
1- Using the Indi gui, one can set a meridian delay decimal value. What is the unit of this value ? Hours, tens of degrees ?
2- Apparently, the value are constrained between 0 and 3. So which correct value should I enter to move the 'apparent' meridian to 15 degrees east of the real meridian (i.e. one hour of HA angle) ?

Regards,

Jacques
