IDome |
The IDomeV2 type exposes the following members.
Methods| Name | Description | |
|---|---|---|
 | AbortSlew | Immediately stops any and all movement. |
| Action | Invokes the specified device-specific custom action. |
| CloseShutter | Close the shutter or otherwise shield the 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 | This method is a "clean-up" method that is primarily of use to drivers that are written in languages such as C# and VB.NET where resource clean-up is initially managed by the language's runtime garbage collection mechanic. Driver authors should take care to ensure that a client or runtime calling Dispose() does not adversely affect other connected clients. Applications should not call this method. |
| 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 position of dome to 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 | Ensure that the requested viewing altitude is available for observing. |
| SlewToAzimuth | Ensure that the requested viewing azimuth is available for observing. The method should not block and the slew operation should complete asynchronously. |
| SyncToAzimuth | Synchronize the current position of the dome to the given azimuth. |
