My question is with Alignmaster, when does it's alignment/error correction setup occur? I am assuming I use it before using CDC to create goto pointing model. Am I correct? Do I setup via alignmaster and correct error before starting up CDC? thanks in advance..

Otherwise your pointingmodel will be invalid.
