IRotator |
Rotator interface version 4, which incorporates the new members in IAscomDeviceV2 and the members present in IRotatorV3
Namespace: ASCOM.Common.DeviceInterfaces
Assembly: ASCOM.Common (in ASCOM.Common.dll) Version: 2.1.0+15bd426746e14ecc59ad81c289f923331d1aae8b
SyntaxThe IRotatorV4 type exposes the following members.
Properties| Name | Description | |
|---|---|---|
 | CanReverse |
Indicates whether the Rotator supports the Reverse method.
(Inherited from IRotatorV3) |
| 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 |
Indicates whether the rotator is currently moving
(Inherited from IRotatorV3) |
| MechanicalPosition |
This returns the raw mechanical position of the rotator in degrees.
(Inherited from IRotatorV3) |
| Name |
The short name of the driver, for display purposes
(Inherited from IAscomDevice) |
| Position |
Current instantaneous Rotator position, allowing for any sync offset, in degrees.
(Inherited from IRotatorV3) |
| Reverse |
Sets or Returns the rotator’s Reverse state.
(Inherited from IRotatorV3) |
| StepSize |
The minimum StepSize, in degrees.
(Inherited from IRotatorV3) |
| SupportedActions |
Returns the list of action names supported by this driver.
(Inherited from IAscomDevice) |
| TargetPosition |
The destination position angle for Move() and MoveAbsolute().
(Inherited from IRotatorV3) |
Methods| Name | Description | |
|---|---|---|
  | 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 Rotator motion due to a previous Move or MoveAbsolute method call.
(Inherited from IRotatorV3) |
| Move |
Causes the rotator to move Position degrees relative to the current Position value.
(Inherited from IRotatorV3) |
| MoveAbsolute |
Causes the rotator to move the absolute position of Position degrees.
(Inherited from IRotatorV3) |
| MoveMechanical |
Moves the rotator to the specified mechanical angle.
(Inherited from IRotatorV3) |
| Sync |
Syncs the rotator to the specified position angle without moving it.
(Inherited from IRotatorV3) |
Extension Methods| Name | Description | |
