Version: 8.1 Requires: ACP 8.1 or later Windows Script 5.6 or later (installed by ACP setup) Environment: This is a Windows Script Component. Once registered (see below) it provides ACP standard scripts with a set of user-written actions that can be performed at several points during the execution of ACP's standard scripts. If you don't have a copy of PrimalScript, I STRONGLY suggest you get it and use it to work with this WSC, and ACP scripting in general! http://www.sapien.com/primalscript.aspx Activating: Normally, ACP does not "see" this component and it's member functions. To activate it for ACP it must be registered with the Windows OS. This is simple on 32-bit systems: Right click on UserActions.wsc and select Register. If you see a success popup, it's ready to go. If you see a failure popup, there is a mistake in the code or XML. On 64-bit systems it's a bit more complicated, as UserActions must be registered with the 32-bit siubsystem of Windows: 1. Run C:\Windows\SysWOW64\cmd.exe <--- Yes, SysWOW64! 2. ...> CD "\Program Files\ACP Obs Control" <-- Note quotes 3. ...> regsvr32 UserActions.wsc Usage: Add your custom script actions to the empty methods below. Access to ACP's "Util" object is automatically included. To write to the ACP console, call Util.Console.PrintLine(). To control the telescope and camera, you MUST use Util.ScriptTelescope and Util.ScriptCamera. DO NOT CREATE INSTANCES OF ACP.TELESCOPE, MAXIM.CCDCAMERA, OR ACP.CAMERA! This will prevent access locks from working properly. You have access to all global variables in the host ACP script via the Util.Script property. DO NOT CHANGE GLOBALS IN THE HOST SCRIPT, as it may cause it to fail. You have access to all of the facilities in AcquireSupport.wsc. To call any of its methods or access any of its properties, use Util.Script.SUP to access the script's global variable that holds the object reference to the support library. PLEASE NOTE: ACP has a built-in facility for running custom scripts at the time it it is started up and shutdown. See the ACP helpfile, "Customizing the Program" for more info on startup and shutdown scripts.
