The ITelescopeV3 type exposes the following members.
Methods| | Name | Description |
|---|
 | AbortSlew |
Stops a slew in progress.
|
 | Action | Invokes the specified device-specific custom action. |
 | AxisRates |
Determine the rates at which the telescope may be moved about the specified axis by the MoveAxis(TelescopeAxes, Double) method.
|
 | CanMoveAxis |
True if this telescope can move the requested axis
|
 | 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.
|
 | DestinationSideOfPier |
Predict side of pier for German equatorial mounts
|
 | 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 |
Locates the telescope's "home" position (synchronous)
|
 | MoveAxis |
Move the telescope in one axis at the given rate.
|
 | Park |
Move the telescope to its park position, stop all motion (or restrict to a small safe range), and set AtPark to True.
|
 | PulseGuide |
Moves the scope in the given direction for the given interval or time at
the rate given by the corresponding guide rate property
|
 | SetPark |
Sets the telescope's park position to be its current position.
|
 | SetupDialog |
Launches a configuration dialog box for the driver. The call will not return
until the user clicks OK or cancel manually.
|
 | SlewToAltAz |
Move the telescope to the given local horizontal coordinates, return when slew is complete
|
 | SlewToAltAzAsync |
This Method must be implemented if CanSlewAltAzAsync returns True.
It returns immediately, with Slewing set to True
|
 | SlewToCoordinates |
Move the telescope to the given equatorial coordinates, return when slew is complete
It does not return to the caller until the slew is complete.
|
 | SlewToCoordinatesAsync |
Move the telescope to the given equatorial coordinates and return with Slewing set to True immediately after starting the slew.
|
 | SlewToTarget |
Move the telescope to the TargetRightAscension and TargetDeclination coordinates, return when slew complete.
|
 | SlewToTargetAsync |
Move the telescope to the TargetRightAscension and TargetDeclination coordinates,
returns immediately after starting the slew with Slewing set to True.
|
 | SyncToAltAz |
Matches the scope's local horizontal coordinates to the given local horizontal coordinates.
|
 | SyncToCoordinates |
Matches the scope's equatorial coordinates to the given equatorial coordinates.
|
 | SyncToTarget |
Matches the scope's equatorial coordinates to the target equatorial coordinates.
|
 | Unpark |
Takes telescope out of the Parked state.
