Hi,

for the last bit on the python issue, I think you would need a line like

Code: Select all

from SharpCap.Base.Interfaces import SideOfPier
to allow you to access SideOfPier.EastSideLookingWest - not sure why that would list on line 3 though. If you have run other .py files in the same run of SharpCap and they have already imported that type then you wouldn't get the error, so it could appear to be random.

For the stopping at noon, I can see it is going wrong, but can't quite see why yet. The only thing that comes to mind is that maybe the 'SolarNoon' calculation is somehow working out and using noon on the next day (~25 hours into the future). We wouldn't spot that in the log as the log only shows the *time* of the calculated solar noon, not the date. At the very least I will add some additional logging to track that down if I can't work out anything else before today's release.

cheers,

Robin
