ITelescopeV3PulseGuide Method
Moves the scope in the given direction for the given interval or time at the rate given by the corresponding guide rate property

Namespace: ASCOM.DeviceInterface
Assembly: ASCOM.DeviceInterfaces (in ASCOM.DeviceInterfaces.dll) Version: 6.0.0.0 (6.2.0.2774)
Syntax
Copy
void PulseGuide(
	GuideDirections Direction,
	int Duration
)

Parameters

Direction
Type: ASCOM.DeviceInterfaceGuideDirections
The direction in which the guide-rate motion is to be made
Duration
Type: SystemInt32
The duration of the guide-rate motion (milliseconds)
Exceptions
ExceptionCondition
MethodNotImplementedExceptionIf the method is not implemented and CanPulseGuide is False
InvalidValueExceptionIf an invalid direction or duration is given.
Remarks
This method returns immediately if the hardware is capable of back-to-back moves, i.e. dual-axis moves. For hardware not having the dual-axis capability, the method returns only after the move has completed.

NOTES:

  • Raises an error if AtPark is true.
  • The IsPulseGuiding property must be be True during pulse-guiding.
  • The rate of motion for movements about the right ascension axis is specified by the GuideRateRightAscension property. The rate of motion for movements about the declination axis is specified by the GuideRateDeclination property. These two rates may be tied together into a single rate, depending on the driver's implementation and the capabilities of the telescope.
