Defines the IFilterWheel Interface

Definition

Namespace: ASCOM.DeviceInterface
Assembly: ASCOM.DeviceInterfaces (in ASCOM.DeviceInterfaces.dll) Version: 7.1.3+4851.c5da65c2b
C#
public interface IFilterWheelV3

Properties

Connected 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.
Connecting Returns True while the device is undertaking an asynchronous connect or disconnect operation.
Description Returns a description of the device, such as manufacturer and model number. Any ASCII characters may be used.
DeviceState Returns the device's operational state in a single call.
DriverInfo Descriptive and version information about this ASCOM driver.
DriverVersion A string containing only the major and minor version of the driver.
FocusOffsets Focus offset of each filter in the wheel
InterfaceVersion The interface version number that this device supports. Should return 3 for this interface version.
Name The short name of the driver, for display purposes
Names Name of each filter in the wheel
Position Sets or returns the current filter wheel position
SupportedActionsReturns the list of custom action names supported by this driver.

Methods

ActionInvokes the specified device-specific custom action.
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.
Connect Connect to the device asynchronously
Disconnect Disconnect from the device asynchronously
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.
SetupDialog Launches a configuration dialog box for the driver. The call will not return until the user clicks OK or cancel manually.
