VP# Very Poor
The mimum quality of object returned by the FIND command.
:GR# Get Telescope RA
Returns: HH:MM.T# or HH:MM:SS#
Depending which precision is set for the telescope
:Gr# Get current/target object RA
Returns: HH:MM.T# or HH:MM:SS
Depending upon which precision is set for the telescope
:GS# Get the Sidereal Time
Returns: HH:MM:SS#
The Sidereal Time as an ASCII Sexidecimal value in 24 hour format
:Gs# Get Smaller Size Limit
Returns: NNN'#
The size of the largest object returned by the FIND command expressed in arcminutes.
:GT# Get tracking rate
Returns: TT.T#
Current Track Frequency expressed in hertz assuming a synchonous motor design where a 60.0 Hz motor clock
would produce 1 revolution of the telescope in 24 hours.
:Gt# Get Current Site Latitude
Returns: sDD*MM#
The latitude of the current site. Positive inplies North latitude.
:GVD# Get Telescope Firmware Date
Returns: mmm dd yyyy#
:GVN# Get Telescope Firmware Number
Meade Telescope Protocol
- 8 -
Returns: dd.d#
:GVP# Get Telescope Product Name
Returns: <string>#
:GVT# Get Telescope Firmware Time
returns: HH:MM:SS#
:GW# Get Scope Alignment Status
Returns:
<mount><tracking><alignment>#
where:
mount: A-AzEl mounted, P-Equatorially mounted, G-german mounted equatorial
tracking: T-tracking, N-not tracking
alignment: 0-needs alignment, 1-one star aligned, 2-two star aligned, 3-three star aligned.
:Gy# Get deepsky object search string
Returns: GPDCO#
A string indicaing the class of objects that should be returned by the FIND/BROWSE command. If the character
is upper case, the object class is return. If the character is lowercase, objects of this class are ignored. The
character meanings are as follws:
G – Galaxies
P – Planetary Nebulas
D – Diffuse Nebulas
C – Globular Clusters
O – Open Clusters
:GZ# Get telescope azimuth
Returns: DDD*MM#T or DDD*MM'SS#
The current telescope Azimuth depending on the selected precision.
h – Home Position Commands
:hC# Autostar II Only - Calibrate Home Position. This command causes a previously aligned telescope to seek the
default home
position, and remember its alignment relative to that home position. This command allows telescopes left in arbitrary
positions to recover alignment using the :hF# command. Progress of this command can be checked with the :h?#
command.
:hF# Autostar, Autostar II and LX 16" Seeks the Home Position of the scope and sets/aligns
the scope based on the encoder values stored in non-volatile memory
Returns: Nothing
:hIYYMMDDHHMMSS#
