Guide AND planetarium control at same time

I have recently bought a EQ6 pro with Synscan - so far so good. I also have a GPUSB device, a decent guide scope and a DSI to go with it. I plan to image with an 8" Newt. I understand (more or less) PHD Guide and it's operation. Famous last words I know. And I understand about using programs like Guide 8 and Similar for scope control. BUT I am wondering whether the two funcctiuons can operate simultaneously. Can I both guide and control the scope through Guide 8 or whatever other planetarium software there is around.
Any guidance for a beginner would be welcome.
Peter
