Introduction

Conform Universal (ConformU) is a cross-platform tool to validate that Alpaca Devices and ASCOM Drivers conform to the ASCOM interface specification. ConformU runs natively on Linux, Arm, MacOS and Windows and, supersedes the original Windows Forms based Conform application, which will not be developed further.

Please be aware that if you upgrade from version 0.9.0 or earlier this release will reset Conform Universal's configuration to default values.

Introduction

This is an early access release to test a bug fix in the Focuser device where exceptions when setting the Connected property did not result in the application abandoning the test run. A full list of changes will be provided in the next release.

Only the Windows installer is provided in this release.

Installers

All installers are completely self-contained and do not have dependencies on any other packages.

  • Windows
    • The Windows installer supports both 32bit and 64bit OS and will create the expected start menu entries. Optionally it will create a desktop icon.
  • MacOS
    • The MacOS application is supplied as a DMG file that self mounts when double clicked and displays a basic GUI. Using this you can drag and drop the application to the Applications folder and can then use it as normal.
  • Linux
    • The Linux 64bit and Arm 32/64bit versions are supplied as compressed archives that need to be expanded using tar -xf before use. The application can then be run from the command line by the command ./conformu
