— NOT SCAN {Not Reading Out}
Logic low when CCD is being read; otherwise high.
— SHUTTER {Shutter Open}
The output precisely brackets shutter-open time (exclusive of shutter
compensation) and can be used to control an external shutter or to inhibit a
pulser or timing generator.
— NOT READY {Busy}
The output changes state on completion of the array cleaning cycles that
precede the first exposure. Initially high, it goes low to mark the beginning
of the first exposure. In free run operation it remains low until the system in
halted. If a specific number of frames have been programmed, it remains
low until all have been taken, then returns high.
