public abstract class AbstractGigeDriver
extends SynchronousCcdDriver
```
The interface to the STELLA API to allow the Ace-GigE-CCD camera be used as a standard CCD using the CcdDriver interface. The ethernet camera itself is mainly used in an adapter as a main guider or a fiber viewing unit.
Sub-frames and binning is done in the java part.
Additionally, a setFramesToAdd(int) method is present that allows the user to specify up to 16 frames that should be co-added on the server side. This circumvents the 12-bit weakness of the camera somehow. A unique feature is also the possibility to change the gain from zero to 723, which corresponds to 25dB. Combining that with measured gains (what astronomers see as it), this 0-723g translates to a gain of
```
 gain = 2.8*10ˆ(-2.0082e-3*g)
 
```
This also means that the gain of the camera is adjustable between 2.8 and 0.1 (0 and 723, respectively).

The camera on use at WiFSIP is currently a acA2000-50gm. Different then to the specs, it supports exposure times up to 10 sec

    Parameters:
    
    expt - exposure time in *micro*seconds. (0 <= expTime < 65000000 mus)
    
    Returns:
    
    True if successful.
    
    Throws:
    
    IOException - Any subclass of IOException.

    Throws:
    
    IOException - Any subclass of IOException.

```
private double getExposureTime(boolean docon)
                        throws IOException

    Throws:
    
    IOException
  - getData
```
public MFits getData()
              throws IOException
```
    Returns the output buffer. This is either the fits buffer set via a call to #setDataBuffer, or null if not set and no exposure has been taken. If an exposure has finished and the buffer has not been explicedly set, a new fits object has been allocated, which will be returned here.
    
    Throws:
    
    IOException - Any subclass of IOException.
  - getCcdInfo
```
public Map<String,Object> getCcdInfo()
```
    This ccd does not provide any additional info.
  - setFramesToAdd
```
private boolean setFramesToAdd(int n)
```
    Sets the number of frames that should be co-added on the server side. Uses the 12bit resolution of the camera to add up to 16 images.
  - getFramesToAdd
```
public int getFramesToAdd()
```
    Returns the current active number of co-added frames.
  - setGainDecibel
```
public boolean setGainDecibel(double db)
                       throws IOException
```
    Allows to change the gain setting in the camera, which is a setting in decibel. Allowed values range from zero to 723.
    
    Throws:
    
    IOException
  - getGainDecibel
```
public double getGainDecibel()
                      throws IOException
```
    Returns the gain setting in the camera, which is a setting in decibel. Allowed values range from zero to 723.
    
    Throws:
    
    IOException
  - getGainDecibel
```
private double getGainDecibel(boolean docon)
                       throws IOException
```
    Returns the gain setting in the camera, which is a setting in decibel. Allowed values range from zero to 723.
    
    Throws:
    
    IOException
  - setBlackLevel
```
public boolean setBlackLevel(int db)
                      throws IOException
```
    Allows to change the ADU-level for black.
    
    Throws:
    
    IOException
  - getBlackLevel
```
public int getBlackLevel()
                  throws IOException
```
    Returns the gain setting in the camera, which is a setting in decibel. Allowed values range from zero to 723.
    
    Throws:
    
    IOException
  - getBlackLevel
```
private int getBlackLevel(boolean docon)
                   throws IOException
```
    Returns the gain setting in the camera, which is a setting in decibel. Allowed values range from zero to 723.
    
    Throws:
    
    IOException
  - exposeBias
```
public int exposeBias()
```
    Not supported.
    
    Returns:
    
    Number of pixel writtn.
  - exposeDark
```
public int exposeDark()
```
    Not supported.
    
    Returns:
    
    Number of pixel writtn..
  - expose
```
public int expose()
           throws IOException
```
    Make an exposure. The exposure time and the data buffer must be set prior to a call to this function. This driver supports server-side coadding of up to 16 frames, see setFramesToAdd(int).
    
    Returns:
    
    Number of pixel writtn.
    
    Throws:
    
    IOException - Any subclass of IOException.
    
    See Also:
    
    startExpose
  - doExposure
```
private boolean doExposure()
                    throws IOException
```
    Does an exposure. This method calls the RPC-methods FirecamClient.START_TRANSMISSION_1() to start a grab, FirecamClient.GRAB_IMAGES_1(int) to sum up the requested number of images on the server, FirecamClient.GET_IMAGE_1() to transfer the image data as a short array to this client and ends the grab with a call to FirecamClient.STOP_TRANSMISSION_1(). Currently, frame grabbing of multiple frames is only supported, if the exposure time of a single frame is below 0.54sec. Single grabs may extend up to 65 sec.
    Binning and slicing of the image is done at the client, if different from full-frame and 1x1.
    
    Throws:
    
    IOException
  - manufacture
```
private final short[][] manufacture(short[] yx,
                                    Rectangle to,
                                    int xb,
                                    int yb)
```
    Manufactures a binned and sliced image array out from the full frame. Obsolete since 7.4.14
