Help!

Can someone please help me in clarifying the alignment for the 216xt
when guiding? The new 6.4 final version has you put in an angle for
computer guiding but it is very poorly written. Here are some
questions....It says that the writing on the camera represents the
orientation, is the button considered up (0 degrees)? If the button is
up, what angle am I measuring to? My scope is on a LXD Eq. mount, does
it matter what my scope is pointing at?

Are we really talking about how my OTA is mounted in the cradle? In
other words......if my cradle is the orientation, then north would be
"straight up" in the cradle, and..if the OTA is mounted with the focus
lock as "straight up" in the cradle, and....the 216XT is mounted with
the button in line with the focus lock ,....then.....the angle to be
entered in pictor view in the field on view menu screen for pictor
orientation would be "0 degrees". If the button is to the "left" or at
the 9 o'clock position in relation to the OTA focus lock, then the angle
would be 90 degrees, if right, then 270 degrees, etc. etc.?
Am I correct with this? Way off base? Please put all of this into
english for me?

Confused....
