barkis Posted April 28, 2020 Share Posted April 28, 2020 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? Ron. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
barkis Posted April 29, 2020 Author Share Posted April 29, 2020 (edited) 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.

Grierson Posted April 29, 2020 Share Posted April 29, 2020 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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 👍. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
