I was not able to reproduce the issue. Maybe it's related to the FW. Does the issue occur also when you invert Dec by ASCOM handbox?

Unfortunately demo version doesn't include ASCOM connection feature. I'm not able to check.

The command is meant to save current GUI settings to restore them on the following ASCOM LFEP connection.
I see it works. Did you find it not working?

I uploaded a new update with some improvements: mainly I found annoying the too low RA and Dec update rate while telescope was slewing.
So I enabled RA and Dec update every 1s if telescope is slewing. I also forced RA and Dec update when a manual moving command by ASCOM handbox terminates.
Silent mode (I'm referring to the checkBox under "Locked" one in the motion control panel) now reduces traffic. I think it can be useful while guiding...
Clear Skies!
