Multiple ASCOM Client Access for any ASCOM driver
What is a Local Server and Why is it Needed?
ASCOM Local Servers, more commonly known as 'hubs', allow multiple ASCOM clients access to a shared device or resource, regardless of the device connection protocol. As long as the device has a working ASCOM compliant driver, the Optec ASCOM Server will act as a shim allowing multiple clients access to the driver and device.
So if you're using a serial rotator, for example, with a valid ASCOM driver and wish to have simultaneous access to the rotator through Maxim D/L and CCD AutoPilot, the Optec ASCOM Server will create and maintain the multiple connections seamlessly and easily.
Like the Optec Alt-Az De-Rotation Server, the Optec ASCOM Server creates a Local Server object that can connect to multiple ASCOM device types (i.e. mounts, cameras, focusers, etc.) and exists while any single device is connected. For multiple devices of the same type, the Optec ASCOM Server features a second server tab to connect your second telescope and devices for tandem setups. The Optec implementation is clean, easy to understand, and provides a level of trace logging through the Windows Event Viewer.
