AlpacaCamera Methods

Methods

AbortExposure Aborts the current exposure, if any, and returns the camera to Idle state.
Action Invokes the specified device-specific action.
(Inherited from AlpacaDeviceBaseClass)
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.
(Inherited from AlpacaDeviceBaseClass)
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.

ConfigureAndConnect Configure the device and establish an HTTP connection
Connect Connect to device asynchronously
(Inherited from AlpacaDeviceBaseClass)
Disconnect Disconnect from 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.

PulseGuide Activates the Camera's mount control system to instruct the mount to move in a particular direction for a given period of time
RefreshClient Updates the internal HTTP client with a new instance.

StartExposure Starts an exposure. Use ImageReady to check when the exposure is complete.
StopExposure Stops the current exposure, if any.
