Stopping and starting CCD exposures

If you need to pause and then restart a CCD exposure, do so using the following commands:

ICL> PAUSE UES
   ICL> CONTINUE UES

You can change the exposure time of a run in progress by issuing the following command:

ICL> NEWTIME UES <time in secs>

If you need either to abort a CCD exposure or stop it before the pre-set exposure time has elapsed, you can either set a new exposure time as above or use the following commands:

ICL> ABORT UES
   ICL> FINISH UES
Remember that the ABORT command throws the data away!
