Thanks Logan.

Sounds a bit more involved than I thought. It may be better to bite the bullet and simply get the absolute encoders. Also needs the special APCCA software. I know there is APCC available not sure about the APCCA version.

AP also have plans for homing-limit switches on the 1600. It's a kit that you bolt on. A fraction of the price of the encoders, but still giving those homing and safety stop features that we love on the SB mounts. See the 3600 page - they've been out for a while on that mount.
