They have a number of modes. For astrophotographers they have an intervalometer mode.

Number of exposures . 0-9999
delay until first exposure 0-99h 99m 99s in 1s increments
interval between exposures 0-99h 99m 99s in 1s increments
length of shutter press at each exposure 0-99h 99m 99s in 1s increments

For example, you can set it to press the shutter 200 subs for 2 mins each at 5 min intervals. Leave the camera set to noise reduction on. Camera will take 2 min exposure, then 2 min dark, subtract the dark in camera and then write the file.

Thanks Joe I appreciate your advice and will chase one of those down.
