Hi,
     I met some question about the expess3.
     1) There is time delay(about 4000ms) except the first run start.
     2) Usually, acquires could not stop automatic when time arrived, including the first run. And i did use internal mode.
     I think both of the reason was about time delay. because the message from st.cmd(the bottom of the mail).
     Could someone do me a favor.
     And answer was appreciate.
    
Too mayn message, so I marked some place red which i think important.
