You should monitor the GuideStep event and do your own calculation for various statistical properties The data elements of interest are RADistanceRaw and DECDistanceRaw. You will want to make your own decisions on the size of the computational window, how you want to deal with dithering, etc.

There’s no clean way to do that and it is very context-dependent – most of the methods and windows that have statistical content compute their own values just for that reason. For example, there’s no requirement for the graph window to even be displayed so what would happen then? And “consistency” is probably not the most important thing, it depends on what you’re actually trying to measure and what you want to do with the results.

Yes, that’s how it’s done, the terms are combined in quadrature. If it would help you get going, Andy did an open source Python client for PHD2 some time back:

You might also want to expand the list of things you want to track. For example, a large excursion will often ruin an image even though the rms statistics for the entire frame may not look that unusual.
Good luck,

The measurement window size is set in the graph UI, there’s a ‘History’ section there and the top-most pull-down is for the window size.

It’s the number of data points that you specify in the pull-down.

The likely reason is that your code “lost” the RPC return message, that’s easy to have happen if you’re not careful. Calls like this one usually generate a return message almost instantly. In order to figure it out, open the appropriate PHD2 debug log file and do a text-search on ‘evsrv’. This will find all the network traffic with PHD2 clients and the entries are clear enough that you’ll be able to see the RPC request/response pairs. My guess is that you will find the RPC return for your call logged right underneath the JSON request.
