Hello Gunther, Hello PT User,
Now that I've implemented some extensions in the Pro Timer software lately, I have again made the menu structure and this primarily by the repeatedly brought to me request to implement in Single / Bulb Exposure Mode also a delay time. Some small changes have been added.
This version (1.0 B1) is a final version for me. After intensive testing then it will be the version 1.xx.
Menu structure:
Implementing a delay time in the existing Singel / Bulb Exposure Menu would have involved a big change. That's why I put the single exposure function into a mode. This is now implemented in the mode selection between "TL Bulb (Astro)" and "Setup". Details can be found in the attached Flow Chart.
In the "Single Exposure" mode, the "Delay Time" can now be used to trigger a Single Exposure or a Bulb Exposure with a time delay. This especially benefits the astro photographers, who can start their long-term exposure at a certain time.
In addition, I have extended the function "Delay Time" by the possibility of entering seconds, which now makes it possible to set delay times in the seconds range. In the Single Exposure setting, a self-timer function with adjustable time is also possible.
This change now also provides a consistent, intuitive and self-explanatory operation of the PT.
From left to right >> !!
First the mode is chosen. In the mode the necessary parameters are adjusted, and finally with the key> the TL or the recording started.
Canceling the TL sequence or the recording is in turn initiated with the key <on the left !! and executed, or continued with the> key.
Sensor function:
The function "Sensor" has been extended in the Setup Screen to the effect that the status of the sensor is displayed immediately after selecting "Sensor Input" in screen "Port 2 Setup". This is primarily for adjusting the response of the sensor.
Last but not least, I have freed the sketch from unnecessary comments!
In order to make a final version of this beta version, intensive testing is required. Me and other users in my environment will be tested intensively. But the more testers, the greater the test depth, the error finding and the result !!
Sketch and Flow Chart are attached!
Looking forward to feedback and suggestions!
Greetings Hans
