void setDynamicPropertiesBehavior (bool defineEnabled, bool deleteEnabled)
 setDynamicPropertiesBehavior controls handling of dynamic properties. Dynamic properties are those generated from an external skeleton XML file. By default all properties, including dynamic properties, are defined to the client in ISGetProperties(). Furthermore, when űdeleteProperty(properyName) is called, the dynamic property is deleted by default, and can only be restored by calling buildSkeleton(filename) again. However, it is sometimes desirable to skip the definition of the dynamic properties on startup and delegate this task to the child class. To control this behavior, set enabled to false.

virtual void simulationTriggered (bool enable)
 Inform driver that the simulation option was triggered. This function is called after setSimulation is triggered by the client. Reimplement this function if your driver needs to take specific action after simulation is enabled/disabled. Otherwise, you can use isSimulation() to check if simulation is enabled or disabled.

◆ initProperties()

◆ ISGetProperties()

void Telescope::ISGetProperties ( const char *  dev)
overridevirtual

define the driver's properties to the client. Usually, only a minimum set of properties are defined to the client in this function if the device is in disconnected state. Those properties should be enough to enable the client to establish a connection to the device. In addition to CONNECT/DISCONNECT, such properties may include port name, IP address, etc. You should check if the device is already connected, and if this is true, then you must define the remainder of the the properties to the client in this function. Otherwise, the remainder of the driver's properties are defined to the client in updateProperties() function which is called when a client connects/disconnects from a device.

Parameters
devname of the device

Returns
True is operation successful, false otherwise.
Note
This function as implemented in Telescope performs no function and always return true. Only reimplement it if you need to issue a command to change the slew rate at the hardware level. Most telescope drivers only utilize slew rate when issuing a motion command.

capORed list of telescope capabilities.
slewRateCountNumber of slew rates supported by the telescope. If < 4, no slew rate properties will be defined to the client. If >=4, the driver will construct the default slew rate property TELESCOPE_SLEW_RATE with SLEW_GUIDE, SLEW_CENTERING, SLEW_FIND, and SLEW_MAX members where SLEW_GUIDE is the at the lowest setting and SLEW_MAX is at the highest.
