Syntax
CCDCamera.StartDownload
Parameters
None.
Returns
Nothing.
Remarks
Used in conjunction with ReadyForDownload and AutoDownload. When AutoDownload is set to false, the camera will not read out automatically upon completion of the exposure. Instead, ReadyForDownload is set to true. During an exposure, the client should poll ReadyForDownload periodically, and when it is set to true, it can start the telescope slew to the next object. Once the slew is started, the client should call StartDownload to initiate the camera download process. The camera readout then proceeds normally, and the image can be retrieved once ImageReady is set to true.
