Does Sharpcap wait for "settled" response after dither request?

#1

Post by yomamma »

When my sequencer requests a dither to PHD2 using the "request a single dither" command does the Sequencer wait for a "settled" response before moving on to the next command in the sequencer or should I place a wait nn seconds after the dither to accommodate settling?

Thanks for your help.

Hi,

it should, but looking at the code to check this, I noticed that it's possible that it checks the state so quickly after the dither request that it might not even have noticed that the dither has started at that point. I will add a delay there to wait a couple of seconds before it starts monitoring to see if the dither has settled which should eliminate the chance of that happening.

cheers,

Robin
