What's the purpose of measuring the motor current?

The EQ6 uses stepper motors with 6 wires connected to two field coils. The steppers are fed pulses from the on board micro-processor, measuring its current achieves nothing.

A different story if they were DC servo motors with only two wires, then you can adjust the balance of the scope by minimising the servo current draw..

Confused

EDIT: I just had a look at the link. He is using the ammeter to measure the total current draw the mount consumes as an indication of correct worm mesh. That might work, unconventional though??
