Method Detail

startContinuous

boolean startContinuous(ReadoutProviding frame,
                        ImageProcessing red)

Starts a continuous exposure. This method starts two thread, one doing the exposure and one doing the reduction of the image taken. Until the continuous guiding is stopped with stopContinuous(), images taken by the camera are piped to the image reduce whenever ready. The method does return immediately.

cancelContinuous

void cancelContinuous()

Signals that a continuous read-out should be canceled. It may take some time until the exposure loop really stops. This method should return immediately in contrast to stop.

stopContinuous()

stopContinuous

void stopContinuous()

Asks for the continuous loop of exposures to stop. This method should block until all resources have been freed again and the exposures really ceased.
