DOC: focusing strategy

Using Camera params commands to change gain to assist in focus and pointing setup

[jeremy-taylor]

If you're on a Pi4 you can do this using the CameraControl module.

python -m Utils.CameraControl SetParam Camera Style 2 python -m Utils.CameraControl SetParam Camera DayNightColor 1 python -m Utils.CameraControl SetParam Camera ElecLevel 30 python -m Utils.CameraControl SetParam Camera ExposureParam LeastTime 100 python -m Utils.CameraControl SetParam Camera GainParam Gain 30

And to set it back again, use 1, 2, 100, 40000 and 60 respectively.

Take a look at Scripts/RMS_SetCameraParams.sh to see the other things you can alter.

first command turns out actually to be python -m Utils.CameraControl SetParam Camera Style type2 and to undo it python -m Utils.CameraControl SetParam Camera Style type1
