Can the settings file please record frame number and frame rate?

#1

Post by StuartT »

I've been using SharpCap for a few weeks now and I love it.

But it would be super useful if the CameraSettings.txt would record info about how many frames are in a capture and what the mean frame rate was.

Is this possible?

Currently the only reference it makes to frame rate is to say the limit is at maximum. I'm pasting my latest settings file here for info

Code: Select all

[ZWO ASI2600MC Pro]
Debayer Preview=Off
Pan=1880
Tilt=776
Output Format=SER file (*.ser)
Binning=1
Capture Area=3120x2088
Colour Space=RAW16
Hardware Binning=Off
High Speed Mode=Off
Turbo USB=100(Auto)
Flip=None
Frame Rate Limit=Maximum
Gain=517
Exposure=3.2E-05
Timestamp Frames=Off
White Bal (B)=99
White Bal (R)=56(Auto)
Brightness=0
Anti Dew Heater=Off
Temperature=-15.5
Cooler Power=72
Target Temperature=-15
Cooler=On
Auto Exp Max Gain=350
Auto Exp Max Exp M S=30000
Auto Exp Target Brightness=100
Mono Bin=Off
Banding Threshold=35
Banding Suppression=0
Apply Flat=None
Subtract Dark=None

Hi Stuart,

if you are fully up-to-date with the latest SharpCap 4.0, then you get more info added after video captures:

Code: Select all

SharpCapVersion=4.0.8115.0
StartCapture=2021-08-28T13:02:59.1990182Z
MidCapture=2021-08-28T13:03:00.8630182Z
EndCapture=2021-08-28T13:03:02.5271134Z
Duration=3.328s
FrameCount=100
TimeZone=+1.00
You don't quite have the frame rate in there, but it's easy to calculate from the count and duration.

cheers,

Robin
