RisingTech Flat frame capture hang(saving buffered frames)
Posted: Thu Mar 14, 2019 1:19 am
Hi,
I'm having trouble capturing flats with my RisingTech 224 and 290 cameras.
Brief:
Under the ToupCamAstro direct show drivers Ii capture flats sharpcap hangs up with a green banner stating "writing Buffered Frames. 5 to go."
Detailed:
Windows 10 64 bit
plug in only one camera
I start sharpcap
i connect to toupcamastro direct show driver (RisingTech rt224)
adjust exposure/gain for 50% ilumination
goto capture/capture flat frame
settings
[*]12 frames
[*]no bias
[*]create mono
[*]apply when done
Start Capture
it seems to capture all the frames but it hangs up when saving (writing buffered frames)
Trouble shooting info:
[*]It works with the ASCOM Driver, but it is not practical for me to switch, because I use another RisingTech Camera at the same time on a remote system, so I would need to disable the other cam with device manager before reconnecting with sharpcap.
[*]decreasing the frames to 3 still hangs on "saving buffered frames."
[*]occurs with other tick box settings
Regards,
-Corey
