image time=# [bin=] [outfile=name] [notel] [dark] [debug] [notime] \ [box=sr,sc,nr,nc] | [box=cr,cc,nr,nc,1]This program takes a picture of exposure time specified by the time flag, and writes the file image.fits in the working directory, unless overridden by the outfile= switch. The telescope coordinates and telescope focus are written in the FITS header unless the notel option is specified.
NOTE: If the exposure time is long enough and you are running X-windows, an xtime timer will appear with an approximate count down timer.
The server on the localhost at port 0x1340 is used unless overridden by the XPC options (see tx Section ).
The amplifier in use is not set by this command. If you want to change the amplifer use the tx ccd_setup command.
time=# sets exposure time to # seconds. This flag is mandatory.
outfile=xxx -writes the image into the file xxxx.fits. The default is image.fits.
bin=m sets the square bin to m x m . (default: m=2).
box=sr,sc,nr,nc restricts the readout to a box restricted to a starting row (sr), starting column (sc), number of rows (nr) and number of columns(nr).
box=cr,cc,nr,nc,1 like the above, but with center row and center columns specified.
notel omits the telescope coordinates and telescope focus into the FITS header.
debug - more printout.
dark - to make exposure without opening shutter.
notime - removes the xtime timer.
