ITelescopeV3 Methods

The ITelescopeV3 type exposes the following members.

Methods
 NameDescription
Public methodAbortSlew Stops a slew in progress.
Public methodActionInvokes the specified device-specific custom action.
Public methodAxisRates Determine the rates at which the telescope may be moved about the specified axis by the MoveAxis(TelescopeAxes, Double) method.
Public methodCanMoveAxis True if this telescope can move the requested axis
Public methodCommandBlind 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.
Public methodCommandBool 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.
Public methodCommandString 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.
Public methodDestinationSideOfPier Predict side of pier for German equatorial mounts
Public methodDispose 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.
Public methodFindHome Locates the telescope's "home" position (synchronous)
Public methodMoveAxis Move the telescope in one axis at the given rate.
Public methodPark Move the telescope to its park position, stop all motion (or restrict to a small safe range), and set AtPark to True.
Public methodPulseGuide Moves the scope in the given direction for the given interval or time at the rate given by the corresponding guide rate property
Public methodSetPark Sets the telescope's park position to be its current position.
Public methodSetupDialog Launches a configuration dialog box for the driver. The call will not return until the user clicks OK or cancel manually.
Public methodSlewToAltAz Move the telescope to the given local horizontal coordinates, return when slew is complete
Public methodSlewToAltAzAsync This Method must be implemented if CanSlewAltAzAsync returns True. It returns immediately, with Slewing set to True
Public methodSlewToCoordinates 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.
Public methodSlewToCoordinatesAsync Move the telescope to the given equatorial coordinates and return with Slewing set to True immediately after starting the slew.
Public methodSlewToTarget Move the telescope to the TargetRightAscension and TargetDeclination coordinates, return when slew complete.
Public methodSlewToTargetAsync Move the telescope to the TargetRightAscension and TargetDeclination coordinates, returns immediately after starting the slew with Slewing set to True.
Public methodSyncToAltAz Matches the scope's local horizontal coordinates to the given local horizontal coordinates.
Public methodSyncToCoordinates Matches the scope's equatorial coordinates to the given equatorial coordinates.
Public methodSyncToTarget Matches the scope's equatorial coordinates to the target equatorial coordinates.
Public methodUnpark Takes telescope out of the Parked state.
