PHD2 / CPWI - ascom or ST4 ?

[jacko61]

Probably a dumb question but hopefully a simple answer  .

I set up CPWI over the weekend to run my Advance GT mount from the warm room in my observatory - mini USB from the handset to my Laptop. Prior to this I was doing all the alignment and GOTOs from the handset and I was guiding with PHD2 using the ST4 cable to the mount from my guide camera. 

Yesterday, when I was trying to guide with PHD2 alongside CPWI I couldn't get a calibration to work and the guiding was all over the place.  After some googling, I found I had to Change the Mount Driver from 'On camera' to CPWI (ASCOM). 

So.... Does this now mean I can dispense with the ST4 cable?
