Dear all,

Thank you for the SensiCam ImageJ plugin!

We don't have any problems running this plugin manually, but we would
like to incorporate it in an ImageJ macro to run automatically, which is
proving a little problematic. Manually, we do the following:

1. Start plugin from 'Plugins' menu
2. Select Image Type as 8 bits BW (by clicking)
3. Set the exposure to "4" (from the configuration panel)
4. Capture an image (by clicking the 'Image Capture' button)
(This image will be passed for further analyses.)

My interpretation of a plugin is that if it can be called from the
'Plugins' menu, then in theory it should be able to be called from a
macro?!

Is it possible to 'look into' the plugins code and pass 'overriding'
values from the macro to the plugin for automation? So, in our example
above:

run("SensiCam", "imageType="8 bits" exposure=4 etc etc");

However, our run("SensiCam") doesn't work, unless we use a shortcut!?
Strange, even though the plugin is called "SensiCam"...

I hope that someone can help?!

Regards, Andy
