ACP Built-in ASP Objects Reference

This section of the ACP online help provides information about ACP's ASP-specific built-in objects and their properties, methods, and events. The ACP Active Server Pages (ASP) framework provides five of the standard built-in ASP objects:

• Application
• Request
• Response
• Server
• Session

as well as the following ACP objects:

• ACPApp
• Camera
• Console
• Dome
• Lock
• Prefs
• Profile
• Telescope
• User
• Util
• Voice
• Weather

The built-in objects are special because they are built into ASP pages and do not need to be created before you can use them in scripts. For example, to show the telescope's right ascension, use:

<%= Util.Hours_HMS(Telescope.RightAscension) %>

To show the current ambient temperature:

<%= Weather.AmbientTemperature %>

Note  The examples in this reference use Microsoft® Visual Basic® Scripting Edition (VBScript) as the primary scripting language. However, ASP scripts can be written in any supported scripting language.
