Sensor Analysis Fail QHY168C-FSQ106-Flip Flat

Hi,
Using ver 3.1.5191 with a QHY168C, FSQ106 F5, & and an Alnitak Flip Flat I was unable to get the sensor analysis to complete. If I had the Flip Flat turned up high enough to keep the exposures in the beginning of the tool less than 10 sec which is the limit, it would fail at the end because the minimum exposure time would be reached. Is this because the FSQ106 is a relatively fast scope? I'm new to Sharpcap & CMOS cameras & I'm heading to a dark site next weekend. I'd love to be able to use this tool to characterize my gear so that I can use the Brain tool to optimize my exposures rather than just guessing. Very cool stuff!
Thanks,
Bruce
