IFocuserV4 Interface

Focuser interface version 4, which incorporates the new members in IAscomDeviceV2 and the members present in IFocuserV3

Definition

Namespace: ASCOM.Common.DeviceInterfaces
Assembly: ASCOM.Common (in ASCOM.Common.dll) Version: 2.2.1+77356f79b05b579f6d860a4edd5934fda9fe29e4
C#
public interface IFocuserV4 : IAscomDeviceV2, 
	IAscomDevice, IFocuserV3
Implements
IAscomDevice, IAscomDeviceV2, IFocuserV3

Properties

Absolute True if the focuser is capable of absolute position; that is, being commanded to a specific step location.
(Inherited from IFocuserV3)
Connected Set True to enable the link. Set False to disable the link. You can also read the property to check whether it is connected.
(Inherited from IAscomDevice)
Connecting Completion variable for asynchronous connect and disconnect operations
(Inherited from IAscomDeviceV2)
Description Returns a description of the driver, such as manufacturer and model number.
(Inherited from IAscomDevice)
DeviceState Returns the device's operational state in a single call
(Inherited from IAscomDeviceV2)
DriverInfo Descriptive and version information about this ASCOM driver.
(Inherited from IAscomDevice)
DriverVersion A string in the form "n.n" containing only the major and minor version of the driver.
(Inherited from IAscomDevice)
InterfaceVersion The interface version number that this device implements.
(Inherited from IAscomDevice)
IsMoving True if the focuser is currently moving to a new position. False if the focuser is stationary.
(Inherited from IFocuserV3)
MaxIncrement Maximum increment size allowed by the focuser; i.e. the maximum number of steps allowed in one move operation.
(Inherited from IFocuserV3)
MaxStep Maximum step position permitted.
(Inherited from IFocuserV3)
Name The short name of the driver, for display purposes
(Inherited from IAscomDevice)
Position Current focuser position, in steps.
(Inherited from IFocuserV3)
StepSize Step size (microns) for the focuser.
(Inherited from IFocuserV3)
SupportedActions Returns the list of action names supported by this driver.
(Inherited from IAscomDevice)
TempComp The state of temperature compensation mode (if available), else always False.
(Inherited from IFocuserV3)
TempCompAvailable True if focuser has temperature compensation available.
(Inherited from IFocuserV3)
Temperature Current ambient temperature as measured by the focuser.
(Inherited from IFocuserV3)

Methods

Action Invokes the specified device-specific action.
(Inherited from IAscomDevice)
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 IAscomDevice)
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.
(Inherited from IAscomDevice)
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.
(Inherited from IAscomDevice)
Connect Connect to device asynchronously
(Inherited from IAscomDeviceV2)
Disconnect Disconnect from device asynchronously
(Inherited from IAscomDeviceV2)
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.
(Inherited from IAscomDevice)
Halt Immediately stop any focuser motion due to a previous Move(Int32) method call.
(Inherited from IFocuserV3)
Move Moves the focuser by the specified amount or to the specified position depending on the value of the Absolute property.
(Inherited from IFocuserV3)

Extension Methods

ConnectAsync Returns an awaitable, running, Task that connects to the device. (Polls IAscomDeviceV2.Connecting)
(Defined by ClientExtensions)
DisconnectAsync Returns an awaitable, running, Task that disconnects from the device. (Polls IAscomDeviceV2.Connecting)
(Defined by ClientExtensions)
HaltAsync Returns an awaitable, running, Task that halts focuser movement
(Defined by ClientExtensions)
MoveAsync Returns an awaitable, running, Task that moves to the specified focuser position
(Defined by ClientExtensions)
