Taking flats

So from what I understand, flats (using a DSLR) should be taken using AV mode at ISO100, so that the camera works out the best exposure to evenly fill the histogram.

Problem I had is, how do I use ImagesPlus to automate the capture process? When I set the camera in AV mode, I don't seem to be able to use ImagesPlus any more because the "Capture" and "Bulb Capture" tabs both want an exposure time, and won't fire off any images without it.

How do you guys do it? Do you press the shutter manually? Is there something i'm missing?
