Hi,

okay, so in the next update to 3.3 I will put some code in that will change the range from 1..15 to 0..14 for your camera. It will be helpful if you could test that out when you have a chance to see if there's any difference in brightness between gain zero and gain one (i.e. should I really reduce the minimum as well as the maximum). Hopefully with this change you will have a better chance of running the analysis to completion. I think you may need to reduce the digital gain control to the minimum value to get correct results (but again an experiment here would be interesting!)

I just did an update to 3.3 yesterday, so I don't suppose I will do another until about a weeks time.

Cheers, Robin

Cheers.
No rush on this at all.

The range for this camera in Sharpcap is already 0-15 though.
(I posted about it here - viewtopic.php?p=18819#p18819).

I'll give it a test once you get round to implementing it. I'll also run another sensor analysis if the info will be helpful (I'll probably need to run it anyway if the gain settings are changed).
