Rotator Class

Creates a rotator object with the given ProgID

Indicates whether the Rotator supports the Reverse method.

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.

Indicates whether the rotator is currently moving

This returns the raw mechanical position of the rotator in degrees.

The short name of the driver, for display purposes

Current instantaneous Rotator position, allowing for any sync offset, in degrees.

Sets or Returns the rotator’s Reverse state.

The minimum StepSize, in degrees.

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

The destination position angle for Move() and MoveAbsolute().

Invokes the specified device-specific custom action.

Brings up the ASCOM Chooser Dialogue to choose a Rotator

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 Rotator motion due to a previous Move or MoveAbsolute method call.

Causes the rotator to move Position degrees relative to the current Position value.

Causes the rotator to move the absolute position of Position degrees.

Moves the rotator to the specified mechanical angle.

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

Syncs the rotator to the specified position angle without moving it.
