This is possible to do... however, you have to be aware that the accuracy of those gadgets are ~1° or worse... not very accurate. It is also relatively expensive, compared to mechanical setting circles (they can be made of plastic - for example simple school protractor will do nicely here. They have to be suitably attached to mount of course and calibrated - adjusted).
You will also need calculator (or computer), and accurate watch (to be able to do necessary coordinate conversions - they are just couple of trigonometric formulas in case of alt-azimuthal mount... If you have equatorial mount, then you just need adding couple of numbers to calculate AR from hour angle and local sideral time.
