+Rotators that have a CW/CCW Pulse output as an azimuth sensor can be connected to the Jack connector (right). What is needed:
+  * pulse switching elements must be **open collector** (switching takes place on GND)
+  * **connection** according to the picture {{https://remoteqth.com/img/wiki-simple-rot-jack.png?400}}
+  * in the setup page in the **Sensors and limits** block set
+    * the **Azimuth source** to **CW/CCW Pulse** item
+    * the **Pulse count per degree** value
+  * then continue with the calibration page
