Focuser Class

Creates a focuser object with the given Prog ID

True if the focuser is capable of absolute position; that is, being commanded to a specific step location.

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.

Returns a description of the device, such as manufacturer and model number. Any ASCII characters may be used.

Descriptive and version information about this ASCOM driver.

A string containing only the major and minor version of the driver.

The interface version number that this device supports.

True if the focuser is currently moving to a new position. False if the focuser is stationary.

State of the connection to the focuser.

Maximum increment size allowed by the focuser; i.e. the maximum number of steps allowed in one move operation.

Maximum step position permitted.

The short name of the driver, for display purposes

Current focuser position, in steps.

Step size (microns) for the focuser.

Returns the list of custom action names supported by this driver.

The state of temperature compensation mode (if available), else always False.

True if focuser has temperature compensation available.

Current ambient temperature in degrees Celsius as measured by the focuser.

Invokes the specified device-specific custom action.

Brings up the ASCOM Chooser Dialogue to choose a Focuser

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.

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.

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.

Releases the unmanaged late bound COM object

Immediately stop any focuser motion due to a previous Move(Int32) method call.

Moves the focuser by the specified amount or to the specified position depending on the value of the Absolute property.

Launches a configuration dialogue box for the driver. The call will not return until the user clicks OK or cancel manually.
