7.4.10 GT_EXPDUR

GT_EXPDUR will calculate the effective exposure duration (not the commanded DPE) of a series of images given an index structure to work with. You can get an array of exposures (exps) in msec by typing one of the following. In the second example, it returns the shutter duration (which is also the CCD integration period). For dark images the value returned is the number of milliseconds the CCD integrated for which is in multiples of 8 msec (8 msec is the minimum for dark current images).
IDL> expos = gt_expdur(index)
 
IDL> expos = gt_expdur(index, /shut_dur)
