AutoDownload

Property

CCDCamera.AutoDownload (Boolean)

Syntax

CCDCamera.AutoDownload [= Boolean]

Remarks

Used in conjunction with ReadyForDownload and StartDownload.

When AutoDownload is set to false, upon completion of the exposure ReadyForDownload is set to true, and up to 10 seconds remain before download begins automatically. During an exposure, the client should poll ReadyForDownload periodically, and when it becomes true, may start the telescope slew to the next object. Once the slew is started, the client should call StartDownload to initiate the camera download process and preempt the rest of the delay. The camera readout then proceeds normally, and the image can be retrieved once ImageReady is set to true.

AutoDownload defaults to true.
