storemode command

This page is part of the ING document INS-DAS-29: Operations manual for UltraDAS

Function:

storemode sets the FITS file storage mode for subsequent observations.
 

Usage:

    storemode [<camera>] <store_mode>
where store_mode is normal, diff_pre, diff, slope, slope_reads
 

Examples:

    storemode normal
sets the camera up to store the images in the FITS file in the normal way. For CCD's this is one CCD readout in each FITS externsion. For ndr cameras this puts the pre integration image in FITS externsion 1 and the post integration read in extension 2. 
    storemode diff_pre
sets an ndr camera to store the images in the FITS file with the post minus pre (diff) integration image in FITS externsion 1 and the pre integration read in extension 2. 
    storemode diff
sets an ndr camera to store the images in the FITS file with the post minus pre (diff) integration image in FITS externsion 1 and discards the individual pre and post integration readouts. 
    storemode slope
sets an ndr camera to store the read-up-the-ramp images in the FITS file with the slope image in FITS externsion 1, and discarding the individual readouts. 
    storemode slope_reads
sets an ndr camera to store the read-up-the-ramp images in the FITS file with the slope image in FITS externsion 1, and the individual readouts in the subsequent extensions. 

 


Notes and caveats:

All cameras default to normal storemode on start-up and reset.
