virtual bool absPosQ(char axis, double& nRad) = 0

Query position in absolute terms.

virtual bool moveToOffPos(char axis, double nRad) = 0

Specify desired axis position as an offset from the current position.

This method recives the number of radians to move.

Example of use:
    TT-500 *
    A *
    TO * Current Tilt position is -500
    TO500 *
    A *
    TT * Current Pan position is 1000

virtual bool offPosQ(char axis, double& nRad) = 0

Query position in relative terms.

virtual bool maxPosQ(char axis, double& nRad) = 0

virtual bool inmediateExecution(bool set) = 0

With I mode (default) instructs pan-tilt unit to immediately execute positional commands.

In S mode instructs pan-tilt unit to execute positional commands only when an Await Position Command Completion command is executed or when put into Immediate Execution Mode.

Example of use of S mode:
    DR *
    S *
    PP1500 *
    TP-900 *
    PP * Current Pan position is 0
    TP * Current Tilt position is 0
    A *
    PP * Current Pan position is 1500
    TP * Current Tilt position is -900

virtual bool aWait() = 0

Wait the finish of the last position command to continue accept commands.

virtual bool haltAll() = 0
