      10  === Usage === 
      11   
      12  This command sets a "sticky" parameter.  It doesn't do anything to the detector, but it sets the exposure type to be performed during the next [wiki:GraspSwControllerCmd expose] command.  It only needs to be sent to the controller upon initialization, or when the type changes, though there is no harm sending it before every exposure.

      14  {{{

      17   
      18  Requests that next [wiki:GraspSwControllerCmd expose] will be a BIAS calibration type.  Integration time will be ignore and detector read immediately (presumably right after issuing [wiki:GraspSwControllerCmd clean].)

      20  {{{

      22  }}} 
      23   
      24  Requests that next [wiki:GraspSwControllerCmd expose] will be a DARK calibration type.  Integration timer is used, but the shutter does not open.  Integration period must be set with [wiki:GraspSwControllerCmd etime].

      29   
      30  Requests that next [wiki:GraspSwControllerCmd expose] will be an OBJECT (science frame) type.  Shutter is opened for the requested integration period.  Integration period must be set with [wiki:GraspSwControllerCmd etime].
