Detailed Description

Ekos::Capture interface provides advanced scripting capabilities to capture image sequences.

Public Slots

abort

Q_SCRIPTABLE Q_NOREPLY void Ekos::Capture::abort ( )

inlineslot

DBUS interface function.

Aborts all jobs and mark current state as ABORTED. It simply calls stop(CAPTURE_ABORTED)

Definition at line 419 of file capture.h.

pause

void Ekos::Capture::pause ( )

slot

DBUS interface function.

pause Pauses the Sequence Queue progress AFTER the current capture is complete.

Definition at line 597 of file capture.cpp.

restartCamera

void Ekos::Capture::restartCamera ( const QString &  name )

slot

DBus interface function.

restartCamera Restarts the INDI driver associated with a camera. Remote and Local drivers are supported.

Parameters

name	Name of camera to restart. If a driver defined multiple cameras, they would be removed and added again after driver restart.

Note

Restarting camera should only be used as a last resort when it comes completely unresponsive. Due the complex nature of driver interactions with Ekos, restarting cameras can lead to unexpected behavior.

Definition at line 7283 of file capture.cpp.

start

void Ekos::Capture::start ( )

slot

DBUS interface function.

Start the execution of the Capture::SequenceJob list #jobs.

Starts the sequence queue capture procedure sequentially by starting all jobs that are either Idle or Aborted in order.

Starting the execution of the Capture::SequenceJob list selects the first job from the ist that may be executed and starts to prepare the job (

See also

prepareJob()).

Several factors determine, which of the jobs will be selected:

• First, the list is searched to find the first job that is marked as idle or aborted.
• If none is found, it is checked whether ignoring job progress is set. If yes, all jobs are are reset (

  See also

  reset()) and the first one from the list is selected. If no, the user is asked whether the jobs should be reset. If the user declines, starting is aborted.

Definition at line 670 of file capture.cpp.

stop

void Ekos::Capture::stop ( CaptureState  targetState = CAPTURE_IDLE )

slot

DBUS interface function.

Stop, suspend or abort the currently active job.

Stop all jobs and set current job status to aborted if abort is set to true, otherwise status is idle until sequence is resumed or restarted.

Parameters

targetState	status of the job after abortion
targetState

Definition at line 802 of file capture.cpp.

suspend

Q_SCRIPTABLE Q_NOREPLY void Ekos::Capture::suspend ( )

inlineslot

DBUS interface function.

Aborts all jobs and mark current state as SUSPENDED. It simply calls stop(CAPTURE_SUSPENDED) The only difference between SUSPENDED and ABORTED it that capture module can automatically resume a suspended state on its own without external trigger once the right conditions are met. When whatever reason caused the module to go into suspended state ceases to exist, the capture module automatically resumes. On the other hand, ABORTED state must be started via an external programmatic or user trigger (e.g. click the start button again).

Definition at line 431 of file capture.h.

toggleSequence

void Ekos::Capture::toggleSequence ( )

slot

DBUS interface function.

toggleSequence Toggle sequence state depending on its current state.

1. If paused, then resume sequence.
2. If idle or completed, then start sequence.
3. Otherwise, abort current sequence.

Definition at line 618 of file capture.cpp.

toggleVideo

void Ekos::Capture::toggleVideo ( bool  enabled )

slot

DBUS interface function.

Toggle video streaming if supported by the device.

Parameters

enabled

Set to true to start video streaming, false to stop it if active.

Definition at line 6286 of file capture.cpp.
