Test Mode

Note: the driver can also operate in test mode without a observatory driver’s card physically connected to the PC. To turn on the Test mode of the dome set a steering card’s type to NoCard in the "Select Io Card” in the Program tab in the Program Flow panel.

This mode is useful when you try to become familiar with the operations of the driver. We recommend it also for programmers using scripts, which enable automated operations of the observatory or during testing the program with other software controlling  the observatory through the ASCOM platform, such as ACP, CCD Pilot, etc.
