ASCOM.DeviceInterface Namespace
Summary
This namespace contains master device interface definitions and is considered authoritative within the ASCOM community.
Interfaces| Interface | Description | |
|---|---|---|
 | IAxisRates |
A collection of rates at which the telescope may be moved about the specified axis by the MoveAxis(TelescopeAxes, Double) method.
This is only used if the telescope interface version is 2 or 3
|
| ICameraV2 |
Defines the ICamera Interface
|
| IDomeV2 |
Defines the IDome Interface
|
| IFilterWheelV2 |
Defines the IFilterWheel Interface
|
| IFocuserV2 |
Provides universal access to Focuser drivers
|
| IObservingConditions |
Defines the IObservingConditions Interface.
This interface provides a limited set of values that are useful
for astronomical purposes for things such as determining if it is safe to open or operate the observing system,
for recording astronomical data or determining refraction corrections.
|
| IRate |
Describes a range of rates supported by the MoveAxis(TelescopeAxes, Double) method (degrees/per second)
These are contained within an IAxisRates collection and serve to describe one or more supported ranges of rates of motion about a mechanical axis.
It is possible that the Maximum and Minimum properties will be equal. In this case, the IRate object expresses a single discrete rate.
Both the Minimum and Maximum properties are always expressed in units of degrees per second.
This is only using for Telescope InterfaceVersions 2 and 3
|
| IRotatorV2 |
Defines the IRotator Interface
|
| ISafetyMonitor |
Defines the ISafetyMonitor Interface
|
| ISwitchV2 |
Defines the ISwitchV2 Interface
|
| ITelescopeV3 |
Defines the ITelescope Interface
|
| ITrackingRates |
Returns a collection of supported DriveRate values that describe the permissible values of the TrackingRate property for this telescope type.
|
| IVideo |
Defines the IVideo Interface.
|
| IVideoFrame |
Defines the IVideoFrame Interface.
