ERROR: Local variable 'count' referenced before assignment

Hi,

got a small sticking point on my script with the ERROR: Local variable 'count' referenced before assignment.

Can't seem to find out what is wrong because the variable 'count' is nowhere else in my script except this one single function:

Code: Select all

def get_Capture(self):
		self.appendMessageText('Starting Capture Sequence...')
		SharpCap.ShowNotification('Starting Capture Sequence...')

		time.sleep(0.5)

		SharpCap.ShowNotification('Moving Filter Wheel To LUMINANCE Position.')
		self.appendMessageText('Moving Filter Wheel To LUMINANCE Position.')
  		SharpCap.Wheels.SelectedWheel.Position = 1
  		time.sleep(0.5)

		for count in range(1,capSeq+1):
		SharpCap.ShowNotification('Capturing LUMINANCE Channel: (' + str(count) + '/' + str(capSeq) + ')')
      		self.appendMessageText('Capturing LUMINANCE Channel: (' + str(count) + '/' + str(capSeq) + ')')
      		SharpCap.Wheels.SelectedWheel.Position = 1
      		SharpCap.SelectedCamera.CaptureConfig.CaptureLimitType = capTYPE
      		SharpCap.SelectedCamera.CaptureConfig.CaptureLimitValue = capTF
      		SharpCap.SelectedCamera.Controls.Exposure.Value = expL 
      		SharpCap.SelectedCamera.Controls.Gain.Value = gainL
      		SharpCap.SelectedCamera.PrepareToCapture()
      		SharpCap.SelectedCamera.RunCapture()
      		while True:
        		if not SharpCap.SelectedCamera.Capturing :
          			break
        	time.sleep(0.5)

      		SharpCap.ShowNotification('Capturing RED Channel: (' + str(count) + '/' + str(capSeq) + ')')
      		self.appendMessageText('Capturing RED Channel: (' + str(count) + '/' + str(capSeq) + ')')
      		SharpCap.Wheels.SelectedWheel.Position = 2
      		SharpCap.SelectedCamera.CaptureConfig.CaptureLimitType = capTYPE
      		SharpCap.SelectedCamera.CaptureConfig.CaptureLimitValue = capTF
      		SharpCap.SelectedCamera.Controls.Exposure.Value = expR 
      		SharpCap.SelectedCamera.Controls.Gain.Value = gainR
      		SharpCap.SelectedCamera.PrepareToCapture()
      		SharpCap.SelectedCamera.RunCapture()
      		while True:
        		if not SharpCap.SelectedCamera.Capturing :
          			break
        	time.sleep(0.5)

      		SharpCap.ShowNotification('Capturing GREEN Channel: (' + str(count) + '/' + str(capSeq) + ')')
      		self.appendMessageText('Capturing GREEN Channel: (' + str(count) + '/' + str(capSeq) + ')')
      		SharpCap.Wheels.SelectedWheel.Position = 3
      		SharpCap.SelectedCamera.CaptureConfig.CaptureLimitType = capTYPE
      		SharpCap.SelectedCamera.CaptureConfig.CaptureLimitValue = capTF
      		SharpCap.SelectedCamera.Controls.Exposure.Value = expG 
      		SharpCap.SelectedCamera.Controls.Gain.Value = gainG
      		SharpCap.SelectedCamera.PrepareToCapture()
      		SharpCap.SelectedCamera.RunCapture()
      		while True:
        		if not SharpCap.SelectedCamera.Capturing :
          			break
      		time.sleep(0.5)

      		SharpCap.ShowNotification('Capturing BLUE Channel: (' + str(count) + '/' + str(capSeq) + ')')
      		self.appendMessageText('Capturing BLUE Channel: (' + str(count) + '/' + str(capSeq) + ')')
      		SharpCap.Wheels.SelectedWheel.Position = 4
      		SharpCap.SelectedCamera.CaptureConfig.CaptureLimitType = capTYPE
      		SharpCap.SelectedCamera.CaptureConfig.CaptureLimitValue = capTF
      		SharpCap.SelectedCamera.Controls.Exposure.Value = expB 
      		SharpCap.SelectedCamera.Controls.Gain.Value = gainB
      		SharpCap.SelectedCamera.PrepareToCapture()
      		SharpCap.SelectedCamera.RunCapture()
      		while True:
        		if not SharpCap.SelectedCamera.Capturing :
          			break
      		time.sleep(0.5)
      
      		SharpCap.ShowNotification('Moving Filter Wheel To LUMINANCE Position.')
      		self.appendMessageText('Moving Filter Wheel To LUMINANCE Position.')
      		SharpCap.Wheels.SelectedWheel.Position = 1
      		time.sleep(0.5)
      		if count == capSeq:
        		SharpCap.ShowNotification('Capture Sequence Finished.')
		#break
Also I have commented out the last 'break' because SharpCap throws an error that the 'break' is outside the the loop but if I remove indent then it becomes 'SyntaxError: unindent does not match any outer indentation level'

Any help would be great.

Cheers..,

Kirk

Kirk,

Indentation is very important in Python. It is not obvious to me nor Python what you want to do in that for-loop.

Hi Brian,

thanks for the quick reply.

Seems like the issue as you say is indentation. I copied the bulk of that code from a working testbed script & pasted it in my final script. That's where it got screwed up.

I have go back over it using Sublime Text, checking for TABS & SPACES.

It is now not throwing the errors

Code: Select all

def get_Capture(self):
		self.appendMessageText('Starting Capture Sequence...')
		SharpCap.ShowNotification('Starting Capture Sequence...')

		time.sleep(0.5)

		SharpCap.ShowNotification('Moving Filter Wheel To LUMINANCE Position.')
		self.appendMessageText('Moving Filter Wheel To LUMINANCE Position.')
		SharpCap.Wheels.SelectedWheel.Position = 1
		time.sleep(0.5)

		for count in range(1,capSeq+1):
			SharpCap.ShowNotification('Capturing LUMINANCE Channel: (' + str(count) + '/' + str(capSeq) + ')')
			self.appendMessageText('Capturing LUMINANCE Channel: (' + str(count) + '/' + str(capSeq) + ')')
			SharpCap.Wheels.SelectedWheel.Position = 1
			SharpCap.SelectedCamera.CaptureConfig.CaptureLimitType = capTYPE
			SharpCap.SelectedCamera.CaptureConfig.CaptureLimitValue = capTF
			SharpCap.SelectedCamera.Controls.Exposure.Value = expL
			SharpCap.SelectedCamera.Controls.Gain.Value = gainL
			SharpCap.SelectedCamera.PrepareToCapture()
			SharpCap.SelectedCamera.RunCapture()
			while True:
				if not SharpCap.SelectedCamera.Capturing :
					break
			time.sleep(0.5)

			SharpCap.ShowNotification('Capturing RED Channel: (' + str(count) + '/' + str(capSeq) + ')')
			self.appendMessageText('Capturing RED Channel: (' + str(count) + '/' + str(capSeq) + ')')
			SharpCap.Wheels.SelectedWheel.Position = 2
			SharpCap.SelectedCamera.CaptureConfig.CaptureLimitType = capTYPE
			SharpCap.SelectedCamera.CaptureConfig.CaptureLimitValue = capTF
			SharpCap.SelectedCamera.Controls.Exposure.Value = expR
			SharpCap.SelectedCamera.Controls.Gain.Value = gainR
			SharpCap.SelectedCamera.PrepareToCapture()
			SharpCap.SelectedCamera.RunCapture()
			while True:
				if not SharpCap.SelectedCamera.Capturing :
					break
			time.sleep(0.5)

			SharpCap.ShowNotification('Capturing GREEN Channel: (' + str(count) + '/' + str(capSeq) + ')')
			self.appendMessageText('Capturing GREEN Channel: (' + str(count) + '/' + str(capSeq) + ')')
			SharpCap.Wheels.SelectedWheel.Position = 3
			SharpCap.SelectedCamera.CaptureConfig.CaptureLimitType = capTYPE
			SharpCap.SelectedCamera.CaptureConfig.CaptureLimitValue = capTF
			SharpCap.SelectedCamera.Controls.Exposure.Value = expG
			SharpCap.SelectedCamera.Controls.Gain.Value = gainG
			SharpCap.SelectedCamera.PrepareToCapture()
			SharpCap.SelectedCamera.RunCapture()
			while True:
				if not SharpCap.SelectedCamera.Capturing :
					break
			time.sleep(0.5)

			SharpCap.ShowNotification('Capturing BLUE Channel: (' + str(count) + '/' + str(capSeq) + ')')
			self.appendMessageText('Capturing BLUE Channel: (' + str(count) + '/' + str(capSeq) + ')')
			SharpCap.Wheels.SelectedWheel.Position = 4
			SharpCap.SelectedCamera.CaptureConfig.CaptureLimitType = capTYPE
			SharpCap.SelectedCamera.CaptureConfig.CaptureLimitValue = capTF
			SharpCap.SelectedCamera.Controls.Exposure.Value = expB
			SharpCap.SelectedCamera.Controls.Gain.Value = gainB
			SharpCap.SelectedCamera.PrepareToCapture()
			SharpCap.SelectedCamera.RunCapture()
			while True:
				if not SharpCap.SelectedCamera.Capturing :
					break
			time.sleep(0.5)

			SharpCap.ShowNotification('Moving Filter Wheel To LUMINANCE Position.')
			self.appendMessageText('Moving Filter Wheel To LUMINANCE Position.')
			SharpCap.Wheels.SelectedWheel.Position = 1
			time.sleep(0.5)
			if count == capSeq:
				SharpCap.ShowNotification('Capture Sequence Finished.')
			break
but only manages to complete this part:

Code: Select all

		self.appendMessageText('Starting Capture Sequence...')
		SharpCap.ShowNotification('Starting Capture Sequence...')

		time.sleep(0.5)

		SharpCap.ShowNotification('Moving Filter Wheel To LUMINANCE Position.')
		self.appendMessageText('Moving Filter Wheel To LUMINANCE Position.')
		SharpCap.Wheels.SelectedWheel.Position = 1
		time.sleep(0.5)
and stops without proceeding any further.

The plot thickens :D

Cheers..,

Kirk

Try printing out 'capSeq'

Just going through things one by one & tried as you said, it's showing a value of 0

Attempting to correct it now.

Like an idiot, I forgot that the Value of NumericUpDown is Decimal.

Solved that issue now:

Code: Select all

capSeq = int(float(NumericUpDown.Value))
