Guitastro Device Flipro examples
********************************************


To execute the simple tests, first open a Python console and import guitastro and guitastro_device_flipro:

For Linux:

.. code-block:: bash

    cd ~/Documents/guitastro_device_flipro/src
    python3

.. code-block:: python
    
    >>> import guitastro
    >>> import guitastro_device_flipro
    
For Windows (using powershell):

.. code-block:: bash

    cd C:\Users\xxx\Documents\guitastro_device_flipro\src
    python
    
.. code-block:: python

    >>> import guitastro
    >>> import guitastro_device_flipro

1. Open the connection and acquire an image
*************************************************

.. code-block:: python

    >>> dev = Device_Flipro("FLIPRO", name="Flipro")
    >>> dev.open(True)
    >>> dev.commandstring("camera SET exptime 0.1")
    >>> dev.commandstring("camera DO ACQ START")
    >>> while True:
    >>>     timer = dev.commandstring(camera GET timer)
    >>>     if timer == -1:
    >>>         break
    >>>     time.sleep(1)
    >>> ima = dev.component('camera').ima
    >>> ima.save("my_image.fit")

The command *dev.open(True)* makes the connection with the camera hardware.
To make only simulation, replace *True* by *False*.
