48 | ## the Simulation camera. A test script is available to help you figure |
||
49 | ## out which ones are available to you. Run the script: tietztest.py |

60 | 8 | Anchi Cheng | For example, instruments.cfg for F416 looks like this: |
61 | <pre> |
||
62 | [Tietz Camera] |
||
63 | class: tietz.TietzF416 |
||
64 | zplane: 5 |
||
65 | height: 4096 |
||
66 | width: 4064 |
||
67 | </pre> |
||
68 | * I use zplane of 5 because this is a bottom-mount camera that does not retract. Therefore it is always the lowest. |
