# Translated from original macro auto.mac by C. M. Schlepuetz
#API:
#auto_set_level - activate or deactivate automatic filter and exposure setting
#auto_set_exposure - define the short and long exposure time used in case of automatic exposure setting
#auto_show - display current automatic filter settings\n")
#auto_show_xposure - display current exposure time settings\n")
#
#
# Description This macro provides a set of definitions which allow for
# automatic filter transmission and exposure time adjustments
# during experiments. Type 'autohelp' for information on the
# respective commands and their usage.
# After each count command, the obtained counts are evaluated and
# compared to four global threshold levels defining five
# different ranges of count rates: Poor, Acceptable, Good,
# Optimal, and Saturated. According to this analysis, filters and
# optionally also the exposure time are adjusted automatically.
# The general strategy to determine which action should be taken
# is to optimize the speed of data aquisition, even at the
# possible cost of a moderate reduction in signal-to-noise ratio.
# Presently, only two distinct exposure times are supported, a
# shorter one (t1) and a longer one (t2).
# The actions taken are summarized in the following diagram:
#
#
# Count rate | Threshold | Optimize only | Optimize filters and
# Region | level | filters (Level 1) | exposure time (Level 2)
# ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
# Saturated | | decrease transm. | 1. decrease exptime
# | | | 2. decrease tramsm.
# ------------ TH4 --------------------------------------------------------
# Optimal | | - | 1. decrease exptime
# | | |
# ------------ TH3 --------------------------------------------------------
# Good | | increase tramsm. | 1. decrease exptime (>=1s)
# | | | 2. increse transm.
# ------------ TH2 = 1.5* -------------------------------------------------
# Acceptable | (t2/t1)*TH1 | increase tramsm. | 1. increase transm.
# | | | (no change in exptime)
# ------------ TH1 ---------------------------------------------------------
# Poor | | increase tramsm. | 1. increase trams.
# | | | 2. increase exptime
# ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
#
# Note: In the "Good" region, the expure time is decreased to t1 only
# if t1 is >= 1s, otherwise a 1 second exposure time is used.
# This macro is based on an earlier version by O. Bunk
# and R. Herger
