Re: Is PEC maintained regardless of shut down process?

My bad, i should not dash off answers while driving, they tend to be too short.?
if the Gemini saved index only when it was parked, we'd all be needing to re-do PEC constantly.?
If you lose power and reset the CWD position, you will lose sync on your model for sure, but you can warm start and sync to regain that (or just cold start and rebuild your model)

Brian is correct. Gemini remembers the worm index position, even it loses power. PEC programming is not lost. You don't need to stop the motors or park the mount to preserve PEC.?

Michael-
I think if you return the mount to "Park at home", the motor stops turning. (At least I am pretty sure of this because I think I've noticed that I cannot hear it.)
Theoretically, you could turn the mount off at that point, and it would remember where it was when it was stopped when you turned it back on?
I can definitely see how a loss of power, or shutting it off without returning to park, and then "resetting" it to home when restarting it could cause it to lose its place, which is why I asked.
Between you and Brian, I still do not have a definitive answer, however...
