EQ6-R Pro

[barkis]

Not sure about a switch within Eqmod.
I understand the EQ6-Pro does not have encoders, other than
one for aiding periodic error correcting. That being so, If I have this right,
Is it necessary to switch on the encoders  within the eqmod interface, or can it be switched off?

Perhaps my question is silly, but Eqmod does have a switch pertaining  to
encoders. I know the EQ6-R mount does not have them, except for the periodic error correction.
Unless I'm misinformed on that point.

Can’t answer your specific question Doug as I’ve not used the PC based version of EQMod since I received my EQ6-R. I do however use the ZWO ASIAIR version of EQMod with the mount and it works fine using a simple USB2 lead between the AIR and the mount. No adjustment required except for the baud rate. - John

The mount works fine John, It's just that particular item I noticed in the 
programme. Of course I realise Eqmod caters for many makes and types of mount, and
some will have encoders on board. 
I guess since the function can be switched on or off, in the case of my mount, it would matter not 
whether it is on or off. I haven't noticed any change in performance  in either position, so
I'll just stop thinking about it.
Thanks for you input anyway 👍.
