Hi Robin.

Just checking in to see if you've heard anything back from your contact at QHYCCD on this SDK bug.

Thanks!

Hi,

sorry, nothing at all, not even an acknowledgement. :(

It might be worth raising via their customer support portal/email (or whatever they have these days). If you make it very clear that it has been confirmed as an SDK regression then you are giving the person answering the tech support questions an easy job, and they might just forward it on to the people who can do something about it.

cheers,

Robin

Hi Robin,

Looking at the release notes on the 10/26 Beta of version 4.2, I see where the SDK for QHY cameras was updated. I haven't had an opportunity to test yet (bad weather and lack of free time), but was curious if this new QHY SDK update addresses the 12-Bit High Speed Mode issue. If not, what are the QHY SDK updates? I haven't seen any recent SDK updates on QHY's website, so I'm hoping your QHY contact was able to come through with some fixes.

Thanks again!

- Ben

Hi Ben,

it's worth a try to see if it helps. Unfortunately there is no changelog with the SDK updates these days, they just appear at intervals on the SDK download page (https://www.qhyccd.com/html/prepub/log_ ... !log_en.md). My usual practice is to grab the new ones, try them out with the cameras I have here to check basic functionality is still good across a range of devices and then add them to SharpCap ;)

cheers,

Robin
