I'm not really clear on what type of drive training you're meaning, I'm interested to know if the LX200 GPS has some additional form of drive training above and beyond PEC and backlash? It sounds like what you're correcting for in that circumstance is flexure and other variables, such as TPoint would but without having a point of reference in the sky? Is that what you mean?
Thanks,

I thought i made it clear. There is a menu in the Autostar that is specifically for... you guest it... "Train Drives", and like i said its specifically used to mesaure and compensate for errors in gears (Not just the worm and wheel) inside the drive box, etc..
The Pec is different, as you cant do a pec when the axis is rotating in the oppisite direction with gears meshing and unmeshing. As would happen when you slew to an object.
Tpoint is going overboard, but you have to train the drives at the minimum.
But, its in the manual, as i already said twice before. The LX200 does not have drive training. They started on the GPS versions on.
Download a manual and read it, or as was suggested go to the link and read up.. Theres also some other helpful info too.
