No servocat.. no money for that. I put the DSC because I wanted locate objects by manual (by myself) or auto (by DSC). The DSC will help generate targets for me too and I need not think of what objects to find and in what order. Also, other people can find the objects by using the DSC.

It was installed. Just that the DSC was not powering up properly, so it had to be troubleshooted and replaced.
