== Running scripts ==
For users that wish to run scripts (e.g ., continuously take exposures while cycling a filter sequence), we do not support the old buggy scripting method via the GUI anymore. In fact, on the new system it doesn;'t work at all so don;'t even try.
We have developed a new much more stable command line method to run scripts. The instructions are as follow:
* Make sure the SHOC camera is ON and initialised (i.e. , you ahve have opened the SHOC webgui and hit the "Turn Camera On" button)* Setup the camera to your desired readout mode, binning, and gain settings (set triggering to "Internal" and kinetic series to "1")* ssh to the "shoc box" as the "shoc74in" user (password is the regular "shoc74in" user’s password)
ssh shoc74in@shoc74in.suth.saao.ac.za
