Sensor Analysis and Smart Histogram Simulator?

Two questions. I have run sensor analysis for my camera and it would be great if I could play with the Smart Histogram and exposure lengths during the day with simulated hardware but using my live data. Is this possible, if not could it be considered as a feature request? Similar to the above but if...

Exposure for Stars Only

I have just finished capturing data for a 4 panel mosaic of the Veil in NB and would now like to capture some nice RGB stars to replace the NB stars. I have used Sharpcap Tools and Robin's Exp=C x (R^2/P) formula to calculate the optimum exposure length for RGB - which comes out at 194 seconds. (QHY...

Re: Copying Sharpcap Sensor Analysis Files

Thanks Robin, I'm sure you are very busy so I really appreciate the offer.
Files attached - just the 16 bit ones I already saved the 8 bit data.

Re: Copying Sharpcap Sensor Analysis Files

I have the pro version and spent some hours running sensor analysis for different modes on my QHY600. I didn't save the data at the time as I expected to be able to pick it up later and put it in a spreadsheet - Oops! Have spent further hours trying to work out how to do it, this post is the nearest...

Re: QHY600L - Sensor Analysis Very Slow

I managed to get to c.1 FPS by setting capture area to 800x600 and USB Traffic to 0. Still slow but ran sensor analysis in around 40 minutes. Maybe its the QHY600 large sensor that is the issue - 120MB downloads for full frame exposure. Anyway, job done for now.

Re: QHY600L - Sensor Analysis Very Slow

Thanks for the suggestions and the information on USB Traffic - very helpful. Apologies for the slow response, I have been trying to get it working today without success. I managed to run Sensor Analysis last night, it took 4 hours to run but today I was using a different laptop, much more powerful,...

QHY600L - Sensor Analysis Very Slow

Hi, I just purchased Sharpcap Pro so am an absolute noob and am trying to run sensor analysis. After a few issues initially it ran it for a few hours before it eventually failed with an error and I am now running it again. It does seem to be running at the moment but it is very slow. The question is...
