    Constructs a new CCD master. Default values for the times are set. If the CameraMaster.KEY_CAMERA key is missing or the camera driver could not be contructed out of the given property, construction fails with an exception, see #initWifsipMaster. The keys GenericMaster.KEY_SET, CameraMaster.KEY_FITSKEYS, #KEY_FITSPARAMETERS, and #KEY_FITSCOMMENTS are optional keys.
    As common in final, rmi-enabled classes, the environment master calls exportObject on the UnicastRemoteObject server class.

protected void init2()
```
    The main initialization section. Only called after construction. In this method the camera driver is constructed and initialized. If a GenericMaster.KEY_SET is present, a parameter cluster is constructed and the camera driver is passed to the set. Additionally, the default fits header table is constructed and loaded with values pointed to by the appropriate keys. Whenever the construction of the camera driver is successful, the fits tables are at least constructed, though maybe empty.

  - getAcknowledgeNumber
```
protected int getAcknowledgeNumber(CommandEvent cmd)

    Returns the number of acknowledge events produced for each command. If the command is unknown an IllegalArgumentException is thrown.

```
protected long getCompletionTime(CommandEvent cmd,
                                 int acknr)
```
    Returns the individual completion times. For exposure commands, the first acknowledge time is the sum of the exposure time plus the read-out time from the controller to the local buffer. The second acknowledge time is the time it takes to write the fits file out of the local data buffer.
    If the command is unknown an IllegalArgumentException is thrown.
    
    Overrides:
    
    getCompletionTime in class MagellanMaster
    
    Parameters:
    
    cmd - The command to process.
    
    acknr - The number of the acknowledge that will be sent back.
  - processCommand
```
protected boolean processCommand(CommandEvent cmd,
                                 int acknr)
```
    Process the command. The exposure commands are split into three processes, the first one consisting of taking the exposure, the second transfering the CCD-data to the local buffer. The third part is writing the locally buffered data to the fits file. This allows the sequencer to continue operation once the data has been transfered from the CCD to the local buffer. In principle, the next exposure can start as soon as the data transfer to the local buffer is completed.
    
    Overrides:
    
    processCommand in class MagellanMaster
  - statusMaster
```
protected String statusMaster(CommandEvent cmd)
```
    Returns a status information of the camera as a string. Calls the MainCamera#toString method.
    
    Overrides:
    
    statusMaster in class MagellanMaster
    
    Parameters:
    
    cmd - Non-null in automatic mode.
    
    Returns:
    
    A string
  - resetMaster
```
protected boolean resetMaster(CommandEvent cmd)
```
    Resets the CCD. Calls the camera head reset method in the camera dirver.
    
    Overrides:
    
    resetMaster in class CameraMaster
    
    Parameters:
    
    cmd - Non-null in automatic mode.
  - initializeMaster
```
protected boolean initializeMaster(CommandEvent cmd)
```
    Initializes the CCD. The native driver is constructed and initialized.
    
    Overrides:
    
    initializeMaster in class CameraMaster
    
    Parameters:
    
    cmd - Non-null in automatic mode.
  - parseFilter
```
private String parseFilter()
```
    Parses the state of all filter wheels to get the current active filter.
  - filterWheelZero
```
private boolean filterWheelZero()
```
    Does a zero-positioning on all filter wheels found. Returns true on success of all.
  - selectFilter
```
private boolean selectFilter(CommandEvent cmd,
                             String filter,
                             boolean zero)
```
    Selects a new filter or filter wheel position within the adapter. This method returns as soon as everything is ready from the adapter side.
  - prepareAutoFocus
```
private long prepareAutoFocus(AutoFocusCcd afc)
```
    Uses the information provided in the auto-focus command to calculate a correct exposure time and readout frame. If the focus star is expected to very close to the center, then we leave it to the focusser to find the most appropriate extension.
  - doAutoFocus
```
private ErrorEvent doAutoFocus(long expt,
                               boolean extsearch)
```
    Tries to auto focus.
    
    Parameters:
    
    extsearch - If true, we use the extension with the biggest moment value.
  - doMode
```
protected boolean doMode(CommandEvent cmd,
                         String mode)
```
    If the camera supports mode switching, we try to switch the camera to the stated mode.
    
    Overrides:
    
    doMode in class MagellanMaster
  - main
```
public static void main(String[] arg)
                 throws RemoteException
```
    Starts the ccd master with the given properties or directly accesses a running CCD master.
    
    Throws:
    
    RemoteException
  - initShutter
```
protected boolean initShutter()
```
    Description copied from class: CameraMaster
    
    If no explicit shutter action is required, simply return true here.
    
    Specified by:
    
    initShutter in class CameraMaster
    
    Returns:
  - closeShutter
```
protected boolean closeShutter()
```
    Description copied from class: CameraMaster
    
    For cameras with a 'manual' shutter, i.e., a shutter that is not auto-operated by the CCD controller.
    
    Specified by:
    
    closeShutter in class CameraMaster
    
    Returns:
  - openShutter
```
protected boolean openShutter()
```
    Description copied from class: CameraMaster
    
    For cameras with a 'manual' shutter, i.e., a shutter that is not auto-operated by the CCD controller.
    
    Specified by:
    
    openShutter in class CameraMaster
    
    Returns:
