* Once the acquisition is finished (or earlier, if you push the "Stop" button), the header information in the FITS cube will be updated to include various GPS, filter and environmental parameters, an the cube written to disk. The filename for the current or past kinetic series is displayed above the "Start" button. The filename consists of the instrument name, the date and an index. The index is updated every acquisition. and the new filename is calculated and displayed immediately after the "Start" button is pressed.
* The index appended to file names begins at 1, and increments by 1 after each acquisition. It may be edited by clicking on the "Advanced" tab, and changing its value. Note that if you change it to a value already used, it will cause files with that value to be overwritten.
* For convenience, the following additional keywords can be inserted into your data files from the "Advanced" tab: Observer, Observation Type, Object, Right Ascension, Declination, Epoch and Equinox.
* You also have the ability to flip the image orientation along the X and Y axes. These options are provided in the "Advanced" tab too.
'''* Once you're finished with the camera, remember to turn it off! It should not be left with the cooler on once the night's observations are finished.'''
