Dear all,

First of all, thank you a lot for all the work done with indi. This tool really amaze me everyday, and makes so many new things possible for amateur astronomer !
I am now coming with a new requirement I hope will be considered in the future, at least for the mount simulator.

Let me explain, many german equatorial mounts provide a solution to assess the balance of the mount, Losmandy, 10microns, probably plenty of other brands.
I am particularly interested in the Losmandy driver and the simulator, because it is the one I own, and I would like to be able to programmatically retrieve the "balancing" values you can see on the hand controller there:

They provide Dec axis duty cycle in percentage as Y and RA axis duty cycle in percentage as X. I would love to have access to those values within indi when available.
Having this feature also available in the simulator, and every other mount that provides this type of value, would be really awesome!

Thank you in advance for your help

Can these value be retrieved programatically from the command set? If yes then it can be easily added to the driver.
