Taking an Image every 10 seconds
================================

This example shows how to take an image every minute.  The results are saved to disk as:

- Individual frames (Movies)
- The final summed image (Final Image)

In this case we can set the "Autosave Movie Sum Count" to 10. This will sum 10 frames together
before saving the final image.

Load the final summed image
============================
This will load the final summed image from the first result in the list and then
plots both the histogram and the image.
