2.1 Set default parameters

---

indicam list                Lists available camera(s), 
                            which should include TWFC2 (PF-QHY) and TWFC1 (off-axis)

indicam -b 4                Sets default bin 4

indicam filter TWFC2 -f "B" Change filter to B (takes about 10s)

indicam -b 4 -w "[956:5432,2550:7026]" run TWFC2 10   
        Sets 5x5' window, then takes one 10s image with bin 4

indicam -b 2 -w "[2746:3642,4340:5236]" run TWFC2 10  
        Sets 1x1' window, then takes one 10s image with bin 2

indicam -b 4 -w "[956:5432,4340:5236]" run TWFC2 2
        Sets 1x5' window in the RA,DEC directions at PA=0, 
        then takes one 2s image with bin 4

Note: The window limits (X1:X2,Y1:Y2) should be calculated
based on pixel size 0.067"/pix and centered on (4488,3194), 
so that the target falls in the centre of the window.

indicam -b 4 bias TWFC2          Takes one bias image using bin 4

indicam -b 4 -n 11 bias TWFC2    Takes 11 biases with bin 4 

indicam flat TWFC2 7             Takes one 7s flat with default bin 2
