Sequence parameters always available

Issue #507 resolved
AstroFabry created an issue

When planning a sequence the gain and offset parameters are not available if your camera is not connected, but your filter types are. It is done to prevent incompatible cameras to run the sequence, but if I save the sequence and open it later with a different profile, the compatibility problem is still there.

My suggestion is to:

  1. Always make all the sequence parameters available. In this way one can plan the sequences without being forced to have his HW attached (useful for people like me who has to assemble and disassemle everything every single time).
  2. Always run a compatibility check between the sequence and the current active profile before firing up the sequence. In this way you will always guarantee the absence of problems related to sending wrong commands to wrong pieces of equipment.

    This is actually something i’m already working on.

    We have a couple of places to set gain and the options on some places already offer variable gain settings.
    In case a gain setting is incompatible it is just ignored anywas, so it is possible to enable these settings as default, but hide when a cam is connected that cannot set these values.
