Set Gain To

#1

Post by JesusRL »

Hi Robin,

On editing a sequence "Set Gain To" does not offer the posibility of introducing a value. The text version of the sequence shows: SET GAIN TO ""

Hi,

open a camera and the options should appear. Gain is a real nuisance because although 99% of cameras have a number for a gain value, ASCOM introduces the possibility of having text gain values like 'ISO100' or 'Low'. SharpCap doesn't know whether to show a number picker or a dropdown list unless a camera is open to give it an idea of what sort of gain is in use. In general it's best to design your sequence with the camera open as many things will fill in automatically in the editor based on the camera (minimum and maximum values for controls, available resolutions, etc).

Robin
