The Batch Start and Batch End commands are used to enclose a sequence of one to six bytes
representing one to five filter wheel movement commands and shutter action commands. The
commands in between the Batch Start and Batch End commands may consist of speed and
position commands for filter wheels A, B and C (3 command bytes, plus a 4
th
byte for the
Wheel C prefix), and action commands for shutters A and B (2 bytes). Each item requires one
byte, except for Wheel C, which requires two bytes. Commands for all five mechanical devices
may be specified, or any subset thereof. The Batch End command instructs the controller to
go ahead and execute the commands received after the Batch Start command.
