IDomeV2 Interface |
Namespace: ASCOM.DeviceInterface
The IDomeV2 type exposes the following members.
Name | Description | |
---|---|---|
Altitude |
The dome altitude (degrees, horizon zero and increasing positive to 90 zenith).
| |
AtHome |
Indicates whether the dome is in the home position. Raises an error if not supported.
This is normally used following a FindHome operation. The value is reset with any azimuth slew operation that moves the dome away from the home position. AtHome may also become true durng normal slew operations, if the dome passes through the home position and the dome controller hardware is capable of detecting that; or at the end of a slew operation if the dome comes to rest at the home position. | |
AtPark |
True if the dome is in the programmed park position.
| |
Azimuth |
The dome azimuth (degrees, North zero and increasing clockwise, i.e., 90 East, 180 South, 270 West)
| |
CanFindHome |
True if driver can do a search for home position.
| |
CanPark |
True if driver is capable of setting dome altitude.
| |
CanSetAltitude |
True if driver is capable of setting dome altitude.
| |
CanSetAzimuth |
True if driver is capable of setting dome azimuth.
| |
CanSetPark |
True if driver can set the dome park position.
| |
CanSetShutter |
True if driver is capable of automatically operating shutter.
| |
CanSlave |
True if the dome hardware supports slaving to a telescope.
| |
CanSyncAzimuth |
True if driver is capable of synchronizing the dome azimuth position using the SyncToAzimuth(Double) method.
| |
Connected |
Set True to connect to the device hardware. Set False to disconnect from the device hardware.
You can also read the property to check whether it is connected. This reports the current hardware state.
| |
Description |
Returns a description of the device, such as manufacturer and modelnumber. Any ASCII characters may be used.
| |
DriverInfo |
Descriptive and version information about this ASCOM driver.
| |
DriverVersion |
A string containing only the major and minor version of the driver.
| |
InterfaceVersion |
The interface version number that this device supports. Should return 2 for this interface version.
| |
Name |
The short name of the driver, for display purposes
| |
ShutterStatus |
Status of the dome shutter or roll-off roof.
| |
Slaved |
True if the dome is slaved to the telescope in its hardware, else False.
| |
Slewing |
True if any part of the dome is currently moving, False if all dome components are steady.
| |
SupportedActions |
Returns the list of action names supported by this driver.
|
Name | Description | |
---|---|---|
AbortSlew |
Immediately cancel current dome operation.
| |
Action |
Invokes the specified device-specific action.
| |
CloseShutter |
Close shutter or otherwise shield telescope from the sky.
| |
CommandBlind |
Transmits an arbitrary string to the device and does not wait for a response.
Optionally, protocol framing characters may be added to the string before transmission.
| |
CommandBool |
Transmits an arbitrary string to the device and waits for a boolean response.
Optionally, protocol framing characters may be added to the string before transmission.
| |
CommandString |
Transmits an arbitrary string to the device and waits for a string response.
Optionally, protocol framing characters may be added to the string before transmission.
| |
Dispose |
Dispose the late-bound interface, if needed. Will release it via COM
if it is a COM object, else if native .NET will just dereference it
for GC.
| |
FindHome |
Start operation to search for the dome home position.
| |
OpenShutter |
Open shutter or otherwise expose telescope to the sky.
| |
Park |
Rotate dome in azimuth to park position.
| |
SetPark |
Set the current azimuth, altitude position of dome to be the park position.
| |
SetupDialog |
Launches a configuration dialog box for the driver. The call will not return
until the user clicks OK or cancel manually.
| |
SlewToAltitude |
Slew the dome to the given altitude position.
| |
SlewToAzimuth |
Slew the dome to the given azimuth position.
| |
SyncToAzimuth |
Synchronize the current position of the dome to the given azimuth.
