Sorry to chime in, but some thoughts that might help... Hi Robin, Thanks for fast reply! Yes a weird issue. After your testing it sounds like a unique case limited to my setup, so thanks for digging deeper into it! The camera can be managed remotely via HTTP GET and I control it with powershell on w...

Hope you can read it ok? I find that things aren't reliable if I connect a camera to the Renesas controller - things like timeouts downloading frames, random hangs...

Really glad to hear that we’ve got you up & running, Bill

Guys, I would strongly recommend that disabling power saving should be the first step, not even in debugging, but in normal setup - as it doesn’t produce just a single symptom, but a host of undesirable behaviours that are hard to explain...

Robin, Bill,
this rescan can readily be caused by Windows default power management strategy for USB hubs, hence my previous recommendation to disable this “feature” - I, too, wondered why things were repeatedly coming & going, when I obviously hadn’t changed anything...

Bill, this sounds like USB chipset compatibility issues, to me - I’ve had this battle - particularly as you note you have only 1 USB3 port, but several USB2s: older chipsets tend to be not very good combined with new USB3 cameras - I’ve found that only the Intel chipset on my motherboard is reliable...

Thanks, Robin

Hi, Robin, sorry for the delay in responding: I checked your reply to (a), and it does, so long as it's on my primary screen, but I run 2 copies open on my second screen (one for each camera), so I guess when I close these down, it tries to make sense of the numbers, and they're a bit awkward (it's ...

Robin, would it be difficult to:- a) make opening of the main window at full screen size, or last used size, or less than full screen, a user selection option, please? b) remember the width set for the Camera control panel, when it's configured to auto-hide (between invocations, that is - I find the...

Hi, Robin, when I've just started my 2 SharpCap capture windows, re-sized them, and dragged them onto my 2nd screen, selected ZWO ASI071MC, and previewing started, I experienced a problem selecting the correct filter - it just didn't see the clicks in the Manual filter wheel panel, remaining on the ...

Robin,
sorry to pitch in a new request at this stage, but would it be possible to either make the text colours on the histogram pane (mean & SD) adjustable, or even just to lighten the primary blue - dark blue on black really isn’t easy to read...?
Thanks,
Carl
