I have 2 zwo EAF focusers
If i change in hardware settings from zwo1 to zwo2 the individual backlash settings do not change…i am stuck with the same settings for zwo2 as i am for zwo1
Is there a way of having different backlash settings for my 2 focusers?

Re: Saving focuser settings
Hi,
this is a job for what SharpCap calls 'Settings Profiles' - this lets you have completely independent configurations for SharpCap, one for each set of equipment that you use. Not only can you set up different backlash amounts, but you can have the right focuser set as default in each settings profile, have them set up to use different mounts if you have two completely different rigs, etc.
In the old days, you had to use the '/instance' command line argument on a new shortcut to get the different settings profiles to work (see https://docs.sharpcap.co.uk/4.1/#Comman ... 0Arguments), but now they are much easier to use - look in the 'File' menu for 'Other Settings Profiles' where you can manage profiles (create new ones, rename them, delete them, create desktop shortcuts) and also quickly launch SharpCap in one of the other settings profiles you have (if you have set any up yet).
cheers,
Robin
