Function
The AZ-GTix mount is equipped with auxiliary encoders on both the azimuth axis and al-
titude axis. Therefore, the mount can keep track of its current position even when a user
unlocks the clutches and rotates the mount in azimuth axis and altitude axis manually.
With this feature, a user can manually operate the mount anytime without worrying about
losing the mount’s alignment status. When the user wants to operate the mount with the
SynScan hand control again, no alignment is required and all that is needed to be done
is to re-lock the clutches.
This feature can be disabled with the SynScan hand controller or the SynScan App. If an
user does not need to rotate the mount manually after alignment, it is recommended to
disable this feature to obtain the best pointing accuracy.
