Description: # Walkway - motion detector
        
        Capture high frame rate videos of a custom-made, CatWalk like setup for mice using a FLIR's BlackFly camera.
        A video is saved to disk whenever motion is detected and if locomotion satisfies the criteria defined in the configuration (e.g. ignoring brief periods of locomotion).
        
        ## Installation
        * Install [SpinView (Spinnaker Web Installer)][SpinView]
        * Install [Python version 3.8][Python38]
        * Open `cmd`
        * Run `pip install walkway` or `python -m pip install walkway`.
        
        ## Usage overview
        * Power on IR light source.
        * Plug in camera to computer.
        * Adjust camera settings using SpinView, if necessary:
        	- Adjust camera aperture and focus to view region of interest under the light conditions expected during the experiment.
        	- Adjust image format to limit the view to the apparatus' walkway. Note that some parameters can only be changed when acquisition is off.
        * Open `cmd`
        * Run `python -m walkway.capture` to start auto-triggering.
        * Press `q` on the GUI or `ctrl+c` on the command window when done.
        * Video files are saved to cmd's working directory (defaults to `C:/Users/<your username>` in Windows). You may `cd` to a different directory prior to start capturing to save videos elsewhere.
        * You may use a configuration file in JSON format with `python -m walkway.capture --configuration configuration.json`; this will override any parameters previously set to the camera.
        * Run `python -m walkway.capture --help` for more information.
        
        
        ## Version History
        * 0.0.7: Changed defaults. Added image parameters.
        * 0.0.4: Add argument parser and configuration file.
        * 0.0.1: Initial release. Scripts are multithreaded so as to not lag during writing operations to disk.
