On Warren Keller's system, which has an Atik 16C guider on an off-axis pickoff, and which is mounted upside down with respect to the  main imager:
  1. Motion on the guide chip is N/S backward, failed to note E/W motion
  2. When calibrated in the East, it gets x = -3.7 y = 3.7 angle = -88. The guide angle should be around 180!
  3. In order to guide, additional logic had to be added to rotate the guide angle 180 if GemWest (looking west).
The logic for (3) is in AcquireSupport as of 6.0.1 but commented out. This needs to get looked at!
