====Automated Data Acquisition====
When running a series of exposures on the same target with different filters it
can be useful to make use of the automated acquisition mode on the camera tab.

<span style="color: red;">[1]</span> You can switch between the conventional "Manual" acquisition mode and
automated mode by clicking on the option menu to the right of the tabs on the
camera interface.

<span style="color: red;">[1]</span> Opening the menu will display a list of existing presets as well as an <span style="color: red;">[2]</span>
option for creating new ones.
[[File:scripting_3.png|1000px]]<br>
When you click the "New preset" option a dialog will appear giving you
<span style="color: red;">[1]</span> a text field to enter a name for your new preset. You can then enter any
name and click the <span style="color: red;">[2]</span> "Add" button to create a new one.

<span style="color: red;">[1]</span> This will then display a new, empty section where you can add a sequence of
acquisitions.

You can add as many line items as required by entering the appropriate values
and clicking the <span style="color: red;">[1]</span> "Add" button.
[[File:scripting_6.png|1000px]]<br>
If you make any mistakes while adding items, you can remove individual ones by
clicking the <span style="color: red;">[1]</span> cross icon next to it. Once you're happy with the sequence,
clicking the <span style="color: red;">[2]</span> "Start" button will start your automated acquisition.

Unless you click the <span style="color: red;">[1]</span> "Stop" button while the acquisition sequence is in
progress, the sequence will run to completion.
