Having got 4 axis readout on my lathe, cross slide X & Y, topslide and tailstock, here are a couple of suggestions.
For locking up your cross slide, now your normal one has been covered up by the read head.

Make sure you have a stop, a big bolt, sticking out of the back of your cross slide to stop the tailstock running into your newly installed DRO.
