Using the Driver in a Client Application

To use the driver you need to select it in an ASCOM application.

Below is an example using MaximDL V5. Press Ctrl+T or click the Observatory Control icon shown below

Maxim-Control-T

When the Observatory control window opens click the Options button in the Telescope group box. Then click "Choose..." as shown below:

Maxim-Observatory

When the ASCOM Telescope Chooser displays select "AstroPhysics GTO V2 Mount". You may need to click the Properties button which will take you to the Telescope Setup dialog.

IMPORTANT: In the ASCOM Telescope Chooser make sure to select the new driver and not the old driver.

The old driver's name is Astro-Physics GTO Mount (note there is no "V2" in the name).

The new driver is AstroPhysics GTO V2 Mount. This is the item you must select.

Maxim-ASCOM-Chooser

After you are done click OK. The application is ready to use the ASCOM driver.
