osirisAutoRamp -- configure exposure based on itime

NAME

osirisAutoRamp -- configure exposure based on itime

OSIRIS library of scripts

SYNOPSIS

osirisAutoRamp mode [-t #] [-m] itimeInSeconds

DESCRIPTION

Determines optimal exposure ramp (configuration) based on the
the integration time passed in as a float in seconds. It then
sets the appropriate keywords: itime, sampmode, groups, reads.

Currently, the algorithm is as follows:

- MCDS will be used always.
- The maximum number of read pairs that fit within the integration time
will be used up to the limit of 64.

This script assumes full frames. Read time obtained from server
(readtime keyword).

OPTIONS

mode
specfies detector, "SPEC" or "IMAG".

itimeInSeconds
specifies integration time seconds as a float

-t NUM
ID number to attach to all script generated errors, warnings, and
questions that are passed to the OGS. The ID number is separated
from the rest of the message with a ";".

-m
simulate the exposure - do not actually set keywords.
during simulated mode the setting of keywords will be
echoed to the screen.

EXAMPLES
