Alas not. This would only be possible if there were an encoder or some sort of index pulse off the leadscrew too so the computer could keep track of where the lead screw is from a cold power up start. It doesn't. And then even mapping it would be difficult.
A more advanced unit would probably work better to have a linear encoder on the carriage and use the position as feedback. But the ELS isn't that powerful.
Sorry.
