Re: GPCAM3 178M keeps disconnecting

Re: GPCAM3 178M keeps disconnecting

Unfortunately, I'm still getting the problem :( Sometimes it flags an error message/exception, sometimes it just disconnects. I did save one of the error messages - I'll post it tomorrow. Next time I'll try it with a different computer - I'll have to set it up with the Altair driver first.

Re: GPCAM3 178M keeps disconnecting

Thanks, Dave. I think I might have solved the problem with an Altair driver update... Dunno why I didn't do it before - d'oh. Altair doesn't make it easy to download drivers... Anyway, there's a chance I might be able to check it later :)
Cheers

GPCAM3 178M keeps disconnecting

Hi I'm running SharpCap Pro on a PC with the 178M but annoyingly it keeps disconnecting. It happens at random intervals but also tends to disconnect when I change a parameter. I've tried obvious things like different cables and usb ports but the problem persists. My usb ports are set not to go to sl...

Re: GPCAM3 No Image Flip Option

Hi
Thanks, Robin. Ok, I understand now. I'd have thought, though, that the display image could be flipped for display purposes independent of the sdk.

Re: GPCAM3 No Image Flip Option

Hi Thanks. Um, I'm not sure what you mean by 'raw' mode? It's a mono camera. I found that the flip option only appears in mono8 mode but I'd had it on mono14 mode. Is mono 14 what you mean by 'raw'? I'd really like to be able to use the 14 bits and the flip - might that be possible in the (near) fut...

GPCAM3 No Image Flip Option

Hi
I have an Altair GPCAM3 178M. It works fine but there is no image flip option under camera controls (or anywhere else as far as I can see)? Am I missing something?

Re: QHY183c TEC problems with Sharpcap 3.2

Hi
I'll try that next time but I also had problems acquiring frames with the native driver. However, I found the Ascom driver did work ok and with the temp control.

Re: QHY183c TEC problems with Sharpcap 3.2

Hi I'm having same problem with my qhy183m with the set point greyed out and temp control only available via the power control. I have the latest SharpCap Pro and I tried copying the qhyccd.dll from the ascom folder to the sharpcap one (as mentioned above) but hasn't made any difference. TEC control...

Re: QHY5LII-M with Sharpcap 3.1

Hi
I realise this is an old thread but thought I'd post a known bug with qhy5l-ii mono cameras. That is that it will crash if set to capture exposures of 10s or multiples thereof.
