Robofocus and two telescopes

Can anyone shed some light on using Robofocus with two telescopes.

I am using it successfully on one telescope (with focusmax) and would like to use the same controller and another telescope with its own stepper motor.

A few questions:

Do I have to reprogram the controller each time I switch between the scopes to the inner and outer limits of travel?

Is there a way I can store those settings in the software on the computer?

How does the controller "remember" where each stepper motor was when switching between scopes? Do you need to follow a particular procedure, e.g. always return the focuser to fully in??

Thanks in advance,

DT
