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)
Refresh Forces the driver to immediately query its attached hardware to refresh sensor values
(Inherited from IObservingConditions)
SensorDescription Provides a description of the sensor providing the requested property
(Inherited from IObservingConditions)
TimeSinceLastUpdate Provides the time since the sensor value was last updated
(Inherited from IObservingConditions)

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)
