thanks

Hi Bojan,
The second photo is a level I purchace to measure angle and can be use to get exact or near enough vertical motion to get 90deg ALT x 4 for your resolution
The first photo is a simple marker for DEC.
I use
scope.exe from EK although install ASCOM drivers first.
First initialise the scope (don't worry about setting resolution)
then after that set the properties. In the properties you will see the test interface - click this then you can test and measure the encoders.
(error in red soz
- Click "Scope" then "Test Interface") Aghh was on the wrong computer when writing the first message.
Spin the DEC around 360deg and note the amount, spin the alt 90deg and multiply by 4. use this measurement for setting the encoder resolution.
Finally go back to initialize (US) and enter the resolution. You will find the same box comes up everytime for all ASCOM driver applications (CDC, Worldwide) when initialise but the test interface only works with scope.exe.
