Scripting #10

Open tristan3214 opened 8 years ago

Scripting commands will mirror those in style to those used for ARCTIC (more information here).

The user should be able to type a command into a command prompt text control box where their command is then repeated in the script activity box along with what it did. Along with real time scripting the user will be able to prepare an ASCII file where each line can specify a new scripting command. The program will first check each line to check validity and if successful will run the script or otherwise specify which line it tripped up.

With the way series exposures are set up, this will be the work horse when it comes to the actual expose command. There is the option for future extend-ability in the series exposure settings to be able to accumulate exposures into one. However, this first version will not cover these capabilities.

With functionality to take hundreds of images automatically in the main tab of the GUI and scripting capability not being completely ready to take off, I have decided to lock scripting functionality down until it is further develop.
