Robin,
I downloaded the latest SDK, and it seems that the cooler still changes to max after loading a profile. I hear the fan slowing down and the temp drops fast . If I movethe slider a little it fixes it.

Re: QHY168C Problems-Changing ROI Changes Gain and White Balance
Looks like they pushed out a new SDK and fixed incorrect gain setting. Will have to check to see if this fixes things.

Re: QHY168C Problems-Changing ROI Changes Gain and White Balance
Robin, Yes, that is what it looks like, however, when the gain is set to max, the preview images are grayish and noisy. Strangely the setting on SC shows 150. But when I move the slider just a little back and forth, the proper gain is actually being used. It is also clear from the histogram that the...

Re: QHY168C Problems-Changing ROI Changes Gain and White Balance
Robin, I am at my friends place now, testing his QHY163C. I select the camera and SC loads the previous settings when SC closed correctly. However, when loading a profile, the cooler runs on a high power setting and the gain is set much higher, even though the profiles settings are lower. Moving the...

Re: QHY168C Problems-Changing ROI Changes Gain and White Balance
Thanks Robin, That seems to fix the problem. However, it seems a new problem has come up, similar to the original problems but related to the cooler. When it runs at a high percentage, the temperature drops fast and I can hear the fan slowing a bit. When I first select the camera in SC, it is fine a...

Re: QHY168C Problems-Changing ROI Changes Gain and White Balance
Robin,
Here is the new logging file where I did a similar procedure as above. Again, at one point I try to type in the number 4 for the gain, and it stays at 30. I actually have to move the slider first and then I can type in the number. Same with the white balance.
Thanks

Re: QHY168C Problems-Changing ROI Changes Gain and White Balance
Thanks Robin,
I'll check it out when I get home in a few hours. Also, later this week I'll visit my friend who I've been helping setting up his astronomy imaging gear, and will record the logging on his system too for you.

Re: QHY168C Problems-Changing ROI Changes Gain and White Balance
I tested my QHY168C camera with the newest sharpcap update and copied the newest SDK to the Sharpcap folder. Unfortunately, the two problems still remain; 1 Changing the ROI changes the gain, white balance and Output format settings to 30, 7/7/7 and auto respectively 2 Loading a camera profile after...

Re: QHY168C Problems-Changing ROI Changes Gain and White Balance
I redid the procedure and replaced the file I initially uploaded. This one has me doing the procedure I described above.

Re: QHY168C Problems-Changing ROI Changes Gain and White Balance
Here I started up sharpcap and clicked on my camera. Though it takes most of the last settings that was used (except for file type saving and changes it to SER from FITS) I loaded my saved profile. Now, the gain is 30 and R/G/B is 7/7/7. Then I disconnect the camera, and reconnect it, and reload the...
