IDomeV2 Properties

The IDomeV2 type exposes the following members.

Properties
  NameDescription
Public propertyAltitude
The dome altitude (degrees, horizon zero and increasing positive to 90 zenith).
Public propertyAtHome
Indicates whether the dome is in the home position. Raises an error if not supported.

This is normally used following a FindHome operation. The value is reset with any azimuth slew operation that moves the dome away from the home position.

AtHome may also become true durng normal slew operations, if the dome passes through the home position and the dome controller hardware is capable of detecting that; or at the end of a slew operation if the dome comes to rest at the home position.

Public propertyAtPark
True if the dome is in the programmed park position.
Public propertyAzimuth
The dome azimuth (degrees, North zero and increasing clockwise, i.e., 90 East, 180 South, 270 West)
Public propertyCanFindHome
True if driver can do a search for home position.
Public propertyCanPark
True if driver is capable of setting dome altitude.
Public propertyCanSetAltitude
True if driver is capable of setting dome altitude.
Public propertyCanSetAzimuth
True if driver is capable of setting dome azimuth.
Public propertyCanSetPark
True if driver can set the dome park position.
Public propertyCanSetShutter
True if driver is capable of automatically operating shutter.
Public propertyCanSlave
True if the dome hardware supports slaving to a telescope.
Public propertyCanSyncAzimuth
True if driver is capable of synchronizing the dome azimuth position using the SyncToAzimuth(Double) method.
Public propertyConnected
Set True to connect to the device hardware. Set False to disconnect from the device hardware. You can also read the property to check whether it is connected. This reports the current hardware state.
Public propertyDescription
Returns a description of the device, such as manufacturer and modelnumber. Any ASCII characters may be used.
Public propertyDriverInfo

Public propertyInterfaceVersion
The interface version number that this device supports. Should return 2 for this interface version.
Public propertyName
The short name of the driver, for display purposes
Public propertyShutterStatus
