Manual Filter Wheel - slots not editable

#1

Post by SanjeevJ »

Hello, I am using a manual filter wheel in Sharpcap. The issue is that it prepopulates 16 slots, which is a lot. I can edit the text or offset values in any of the 16 slots but I cannot delete a slot. So anytime I click on manual filter, 16 slots show up. Is there a way to fix this?

Figured out a way. First (which I missed) to make sure any named filters are at the top, no blank filters at the top. So if you no longer use a filter, move the remaining ones to the top. Next delete the text and the zero values (for some reason that helped) for all the slots that are not used.

Hi,

that's the right thing to do - SharpCap will ignore filters at the end of the list where the names are empty, but it will include everything up to the last non-empty name.

cheers,

Robin
