Pause/Continue/Stop/Abort an active run. For PAUSE, the timer is stopped and the shutter closed. For CONTINUE the timer is restarted and the shutter is opened. STOP behaves exactly as though the timer period had expired. ABORT stops dead without reading out or doing anything and does not increment the run number.
Parameters
None
Examples
Adam:> PAUSE
Adam:> CONTINUE
Notes
The PAUSE command will be rejected if a run is not currently active
The CONTINUE command will be rejected if a run is not currently PAUSEd.
Pitfalls
A GLANCE run cannot be paused. Nor can a run whose exposure time is sufficiently short to be timed with the PIC (see above).
