NAME: obsdur PURPOSE: Calculate estimate of total duration of an exposure with PCCD. DESCRIPTION: CATEGORY: Data Acquisition CALLING SEQUENCE: ans=obsdur(filter,exptime,colormode,npat) INPUTS: filter - Filter for observation (or anchor filter for color mode). This is an integer from 0 to 9. exptime - Exposure time for indicated filter (in seconds). Must be greater than zero. colormode - Character, 'c' means use color sequence, anything else means just this filter. npat - Number of exposures (or color patterns). OPTIONAL INPUT PARAMETERS: KEYWORD INPUT PARAMETERS: OUTPUTS: return value is the estimated time to complete the observation (in seconds). NOTE: if any of the input parameters are invalid, this function will return a negative number. That is your indication of an error.
