- 56 - Command :Sg DDD*MM# commands except ":Q#" and ":h?#" are disabled during Returns Ok the search. Sets the longitude of the currently selected site. Command :hP# Command :GG# Returns Nothing Returns sHH# Slews the telescope to the home position. Gets the offset from Greenwich Mean Time. Command :h?# Command :SG sHH# Returns 0, 1, or 2 Returns Ok Returns the home status: 0 if home search failed or not Sets the offset from Greenwich Mean Time. yet attempted, 1 if home position found, or 2 if a home Command :W1# :W2# search is in progress. e. Library/Objects :W3# Command :Gr# :W4# Returns HH:MM.T# Returns Nothing Gets object right ascension. Sets the current site number. Command :Sr HH:MM.T# c. Telescope Motion Returns Ok Command :Mn# Sets object right ascension. Returns :Ms# :Me# :Mw# Nothing Command :Gd# Returns sDD*MM# Gets object declination. Starts motion in the specified direction at the current rate. Command :Sd sDD*MM# Command :MS# Returns 0, 1, 2, or 4 (see description) Returns Ok Sets object declination. Slews telescope to current object coordinates. 0 is Command :Sa sDD*MM# returned if the telescope can complete the slew, 1 is Returns Ok returned if the object is below the horizon, 2 is returned if Sets object altitude (for MA command). the object is below the "higher" limit, and 4 is returned if the object is above the lower limit. If 1, 2, or 4 is returned, Command :Sz DDD*MM# a string containing an appropriate message is also Returns Ok returned. Sets object azimuth (for MA command). Command :MA# Returns 0 Slews telescope to object alt-az coordinates (set with the Sa and Sz commands). This command only works in the LAND and ALTAZ modes. Command :CM# Returns (see description) Sync. Matches current telescope coordinates to the object coordinates and sends a string indicating which object's coordinates were used. Command :Qn# :Qs# :Qe# :Qw# Returns Nothing Stops motion in the specified direction. Also stops the telescope if a slew to an object is in progress. Command :Q# Returns Nothing Stops a slew to an object. Command :RG# :RC# :RM# :RS# Returns Nothing Sets the motion rate to guide (RG), center (RC), find (RM), or slew (RS). Command :Sw N# Returns Ok Sets the maximum slew rate to "N" degrees per second where N is 2 through 4. d. Home Position Command :hS# Returns Nothing Starts a home position search and saves the telescope position. NOTE: All commands except ":Q#" and ":h?#" are disabled during the search. Command :hF# Returns Nothing Starts a home position search and sets the telescope position according to the saved values. NOTE: All Command :Gy# Returns GPDCO# Gets the "type" string for the FIND operation. A capital letter means that the corresponding type is selected while a lower case letter indicates it is not. Command :Sy GPDCO# Returns Ok Sets the "type" string for the FIND operation. Command :Gq# Returns SU#, EX#, VG#, GD#, FR#, PR#, or VP# Gets the current minimum quality for the FIND operation. Command :Sq# Returns Nothing Steps to the next minimum quality for the FIND operation. Command :Gh# Returns DD*# Gets the current "higher" limit.\ Command :Sh DD# Returns Ok Sets the current "higher" limit. Command :Go# Returns DD*# Gets the current "lower" limit. Command :So DD*# Returns Ok Sets the current "lower" limit. Command :Gb# :Gf# Returns sMM.M#
