Member Function Documentation

void QTelescopeMTS::buildGUI

(

QWidget *

parent

)

[virtual]

build the gui of the QTelescope widget.

if it is overloaded, parents buildGUI should be called by new version.

Reimplemented from QTelescope.

double QTelescopeMTS::setSpeed

(

double

speed

)

[virtual, slot]

set Telescope move speed.

0=> slowest speed, 1.0=> max speed. the speed entered is an hint. The function must return the real speed.

Implements QTelescope.

bool QTelescopeMTS::setTracking

(

bool

activated

)

[virtual, slot]

set auto tracking mode.

true=>tracking activated. false=>no tracking. the return value indicate if it was possible: a mount with no tracking mode will allways return !activated (it can always stop).

Implements QTelescope.
