ARC

This is equivalent to the RUN command, but intended for exposures of arc lamps rather than observations of astronomical targets.

Format: ARC <channel> <time> [``<string>'']

Channel: The name of the CCD data acquisition channel to be used.

Time: The exposure time in seconds

Title: A title for the observation (optional)

Examples : ARC RED 1.5 "CuAr arc 5500 Angstrom"

Comments: As for the RUN command, except that the observation type is set in the headers as being an arc exposure.
