Description:
    Macros for using ImagePro CCD image acquisition software
Documentation:
    OVERVIEW
    This macro set can be used to trigger CCD image acquisitions by ImagePro running on a Windows PC. The macros allow a user to configure the image acquisition basic setup (device, file prefix, exposure time). Triggering is switched on/off using the ipon/ipoff macro macros. When triggering is on image acquisition is triggered at every ct command i.e. during scans. Single shot images can be taking using the ipsnap command.

    EXAMPLE
    ipsetup id18/imagepro/1 "c:\\temp" "img"
    Will setup the ImagePro macros to trigger an acquisition from the device id18/imagepro/1 with file prefix "img" (exposure time is set by the count time specified to "ct"). The file names created will be of the form img_scan_i where scan is the scan number, i is the point number inside a scan.
    ipoff
    Switch triggering off at ct command
    ipon
    Switch triggering on at every ct command
    iptake "test" 10
    Take a single shot image exposure 10 s and store it in the file name "test" (NOTE: if the file exists already ImagePro will open a dialog box which has to be acknowledged)
    ipsnap 10
    Take a single shot image exposure 10 s and display it but don't save it in a file
    ipsave "C:\\mypath\\myfile"
    Save the current workspace (e.g. an image taken with ipsnap) in the specified file
    imagepro needs dbase.mac now - ONLY on ID11 jtdo("id11/dbase") ipsetup
