Access to port 7 is denied.

How do I Get around this ,I get the message when I start SharpCap. "Access to port 7 is denied."

Hi,

it sounds as though you may have set SharpCap up to talk to some ASCOM hardware which is already in use when you run SharpCap (or maybe the port number has changed), so that the error message is created when the hardware fails to connect.

You can change the configured hardware (and whether SharpCap will automatically try to connect to it) in the settings - see https://docs.sharpcap.co.uk/4.0/#Hardware%20Tab

Once you work out what this message is coming from, it may be possible to come up with a plan to avoid it while still controlling the hardware - for instance by using the ASCOM device hub to allow two or more programs to access the hardware.

hope this helps,

Robin

Here is the error message "An error occurred while trying to connect your Pegasus AStro Focus controller Focuser" "Access to port7 is refused.
The focuser box is on port7.
