.SH DESCRIPTION
|
|
|
|
|
KStars allows you to configure
|
|
|
|
|
and control astronomical instruments such as telescopes and focusers via
|
|
|
|
|
the INDI protocol. \fBindiserver\fP is a server that sits between the
|
|
|
|
|
KStars user interface and the low-level hardware drivers.
|
|
|
|
|
.PP
|
|
|
|
|
The INDI server is a network server, in that either local or remote clients
|
|
|
|
|
may connect to it to control astronomical instruments. The INDI server must
|
|
|
|
|
be running on the machine that is physically connected to the
|
|
|
|
|
astronomical instruments.
|
|
|
|
|
.PP
|
|
|
|
|
Note that there is no need for you to run the INDI server directly. Using
|
|
|
|
|
the KStars device manager, you can set up astronomical instruments and start
|
|
|
|
|
or stop the INDI server all from within KStars.
|
|
|
|
|
.PP
|
|
|
|
|
You may however choose to run the INDI server manually from the command
|
|
|
|
|
line. In this case you must pass the names of one or more drivers for
|
|
|
|
|
individual astronomical instruments. The current list of available
|
|
|
|
|
drivers is:
