Thanks.
Gary,

Yes, that is what I am suggesting. It seems to be working for us, but as others in this thread have mentioned it is not the "Ideal" solution. Other solutions presented will have delay in the synchronization process.

I do not know if it would work in position mode.

I will try to get a schematic posted, but as you know it is very close to ship date and we are very busy. It is on paper (aka napkin sketch) and not easily uploaded.
