Help needed with Flats frames

Hello,
Just wanted to know if anyone can help me out with some incite into acquiring Flat frames.
Im using an Atik 383L mono my first real CCD camera.
I Mainly need help with how long to set exposure times.
I have read that its best to expose a flat at around 75% intensity of camera full well depth.
Specs i found state the full well depth for my atik 383 is 25,500 ADU so i need to reach around 17,000 ADU with my camera.

Question is how do i know what the ADU value is for an image?

I was thinking there must be a program or something that can determine the ADU level for me.

would appreciate any ideas
