Note: rcam is usually started by running the startnet script.
int -takes commands from stdin and writes to stdout instead of to internet socket; data are discarded.
port= Sets the socket port address to the value specified in Hexadecimal. The default value is 0x1340.
ccd [time=] [file=] [noread] [gain=]
Reads the chip (unless noread is specified).
The exact behavior depends on the sequence selected.
If the sequence is a type that an exposure is relevant,
(Frame or CDS) the reset sequence will be executed; the camera will delay
for the requested number of seconds then the chip readout.
If data bytes are to be transmitted back a separate
line with the number of bytes sent (nbytes=) will be sent.
ccd_status [gain=] [seq=] [heat=]
Returns a string similar to:
done ccd_status nrow=256 ncol=256 readtime=1.0 tchip=293.0 t77=292.5
tfil=293.2 topt=-0.0 name=picnic darktime=26.0 gain=1 seq=Fowler
heat=0.0 pixel=40.0 rot=0
Where the temperatures of the chip, 77 K station, filter wheel, and optics are returned in Kelvins. The active sequence name is also specified.
seq= specifies the wave sequence can be set by specifying either the frame, cds, or reset.
heat- sets the chip heater voltage.
