Maestro ASCOM Dome driver release notes

Version: 1.0.1
Date released: 3-Oct-2020

This document provides instructions on upgrading Maestro4's ASCOM Dome driver.

Installation instructions

  1. Assure that Maestro4 is not running and that no ASCOM clients previously connected to Maestro4 are left running. A reboot is the best way to assure this.
  2. Download and run the MaestroASCOM_DomeSetup<version>.exe file.
  3. Restart Maestro4. All should now function using the new ASCOM driver.

Bug fixes
- For use with non-dome DomePro controllers (i.e. clamshell or roll-off-roof):
	- Methods FindHome(), Park(), SetPark(), SlewToAzimuth(Double) and SyncToAzimuth(Double) all threw InvalidOperationException.
		Instead then should throw MethodNotImplementedException per ASCOM DomeV2 specification.
	- Property Azimuth threw InvalidOperationException.  Instead it should throw PropertyNotImplementedException per ASCOM DomeV2
		specification.
	- Properties AtHome, AtPark and setting of Slaved property threw InvalidOperationException.  Instead then now throw
		PropertyNotImplementedException even though ASCOM DomeV2 specification does not require it.
	- The reading of the Slaved property no longer raises InvalidOperationException.  Instead it just returns False.
- The following erroneously raised a ParkedException if AtPark:
	- Properties: setting of the Slaved property
	- Methods: FindHome(), SlewToAzimuth(), SyncToAzimuth()
