We've recently obtained what appears to be a low-mileage ST-10XME which we are interested in using for some INDI development work. The camera has a CFW-8 wheel with the I2C link. Upon power-up, the wheel reliably rotates to the home position, so it appears to be in good order. Initial tests with the camera itself look good -- the cooler operates correctly and maintains a temperature differential of -40 C without issue, there don't appear to be any dead columns, and darks are quite smooth. For what we need, this should be a good instrument.

Is there any specific documentation available which would provide details needed to configure and operate the filter wheel using Ekos? I've not been able to determine how to access the filter settings shown in this message:

Once connected, is the filter wheel automatically visible to the INDI driver or is additional configuration needed to access it through the camera's USB communications link via the I2C link between the camera and filter wheel?
