The vertex software has encoder corrections that can be interactively modified via the ocu or lcu interface. ... When adding a correction, the display position includes the correction. Preset mode works fine with the correction (eg. start at 270, add correction=1deg, display reads 271, preset to 270 moves the telescope be 1 degree). I think that program track mode works differently with the offsets.. mainly because we had an offset of 1 degree for 5 months and we could still see sources. ...
