OVERSCAN

Sets the area of the CCD read out to be the whole area of the chip.

Format: OVERSCAN

Comments: This ensures the whole of the CCD is read out, but unlike the overscan switch on the INT IPCS it does not scan the whole of the output of the EMI image tube, there is no way of doing this. Beware of possible bright light sources off the edge of the chip. After using this command it will be necessary to set up the observing window again with IPCSFORMAT.
