Paul,
Isn’t using the Guiding Assistant in PHD2, the same thing ?
Once selected it disables the guiding and records the motion of the mount in relation to the guide Star ( allow a few minutes ) then it gives you a full diagnostic result and recommendations
I used it a couple of times years ago when I had a HEQ5 mount that had a few issues
Cheers
Martin
PS: thankfully I’ve never had to use the Guiding Assistant again as both my EQ6-R pro mounts guide beautifully after a bit of fine tuning ( worm and drive belt adjustments )
