CaptureSingleFrameTo error

When I execute the following command:
SharpCap.SelectedCamera.CaptureSingleFrameTo("c:\test.fits")

I get the error message:
Path must be an absolute path

Not sure why I get this message.

Thank you.

Hi,

I think that the python language is interpreting 'c:\test.fits' as 'c:<tab>est.fits' since '\t' is the way to put a tab in a python string. Try 'c:\\test.fits' - I think that's the right way to do it.

cheers,

Robin

Hi Robin,

Actually, I found that if "/" is used instead of "\", it works - must be a Windows file naming thing.

Thanks anyway for your response.

Hi Robin,

BTW: your suggestion works as well.
