GuiderCalibrate

Syntax

CCDCamera.GuiderCalibrate ( Duration )

Parameters

Double Duration - length of each exposure in seconds.

Returns

Boolean - True if successful.

Remarks

Starts the calibration process, which requires a series of exposures. Use GuiderRunning to check when the exposure is complete.

If the current guider is the SBIG w/AO-7, then invoking a calibration sequence will start a drive calibration sequence (equivalent to the "Calibrate Drive" mode on the AO-7's Locate tab), and will update the AO-7's calibration settings.  MaxIm CCD's calibration settings will be unaffected in this case.
