odd behaviour with flip-fats after flat run
Flagging what may be a glitch.
when I start from a position of flip flat being closed and run a "standard flats" program from acp web interface, when the flats have all been taken the system opens and leaves open the flip flat.
is there a way to prevent this when i want to walk away and know that the scope will be covered at all times?
one other comment on the process here - when trying to take a flat run of V filter, the starting point is 50 seconds, with 5 or 6 iterations before the system alights on an optimal 1.5 second - there is about 4 minutes downtime for all these wasted exposures and i wondered if this is set in stone or is there ohm intelligence in the system that should be able to spot that broadband flats will be a matter of a few seconds each...?
thanks

still seeing long test times for panel flats
Continuing my own saga here...
I am still seeing long exposure times for the initial test exposures even after moving to ACP 8.1.1 notwithstanding the new feature listed as point 20 under product changes in the release notes.
i attach a log file to show the 50 second test starting point still seems to dominate...
any advice on this much appreciated,
thanks
