Defining a hotswitch
Pull up the hotswitch and the hs_config programs. hs_config allows you to capature the configurations of individual programs to define a particular experiment. The hotswitch, once configured, allows you to rapidly get back to the relevant experimental settings. Defining a hotswitch is moderately cumersomecumbersome; but this is an extremely powerful feature that is at the core of Ephus functionality.
First, enter a hotswitch name (i.e., shutterCycle1) in the 'Name' block of the hs_config window. Then, via the 'Directory' panel, make a new folder in the hotswitches directory ('shutterCycle1') which will contain all of the relevant program configurations.
Now go through the program list and "capture" the settings for all of the programs that matter - not more or less. More might lead to slow response times; less would likely result in errors.
