The camera system can optionally be slaved to acquire whenever the Hyspex system is recording. Through the CAM menu interface provided on the multi-function display, the camera system can be set to SLAVE mode; in this mode any command to start an acquisition on the Hyspex will also begin an acquisition on the camera; likewise the camera will be stopped when the Hyspex acquisition is ended. The purpose for this mode is to reduce crew workload during survey operations. The camera can be set to run either on an intervalometer (the usual method) or in continuous mode for very fast shooting. The current camera settings will be used.
