Roper Photometric manual Example Scripts, Open the Shutter, Single Image

Example Scripts

The eight example scripts in this section illustrate the rules and principles of ICL. These scripts use every ICL function with the exception of shift_mode_sm() and the _alt modes. Electronic copies of the example scripts are in the ICL Example file on your HCK diskette.

•Open the Shutter

•Single Image

•Time Delayed Integration Panorama

•Ratio Imaging: 2-Frame Ratio

•Ratio Imaging: Multi-Frame Ratio

•3-Color Sequence

•Intermittent Exposure

•High-Speed Spectroscopy

Open the Shutter

This script opens the camera shutter and leaves it open.

script_begin(); shutter_open(); script_end(0);

Single Image

This script is intended for use on a Kodak 1400 CCD (serial size 1317, parallel size 1035). The script takes one full-frame image and exits.

script_begin();
shutter_close();	/* good precaution—who knows what state it's in	*/
clear_parallel(2);	/* clear out any residual charge	*/
clear_serial(2);	/* might as well clear this out, too	*/
shutter_open();	/* START TAKING THE IMAGE...	*/
expose(200);	/* expose for 200 milliseconds	*/
shutter_close();	/*...DONE TAKING THE IMAGE	*/
pixel_readout(0,1317,1,1035,1);	/* readout the entire CCD	*/
pixel_display(1317,1035);	/* display the entire CCD	*/
script_end(1);	/* leave the CCD in continuous clear mode	*/
