Access to Capture Profiles

I went with the second approach and it worked like a charm. I had to nudge ChatGPT in that direction but once I did it was able to handle the rest. Thanks!

Hi, We've started to run live captures now, and we've noticed that when our .py script fires off to change the capture profile, it is killing a live capture if we have one running. Is that expected behavior? I've attached logs showing the event.


EDIT: I'm assuming this behavior is expected so I searched and found the following two objects, and put them in my script to 're-start' the capture after changing the capture profile.

SharpCap.SelectedCamera.PrepareToCapture()
SharpCap.SelectedCamera.RunCapture()

Thanks!

Hi,

this is expected for SharpCap 4.0, which restarts the camera every time a profile is loaded, ending any capture.

If you move to SharpCap 4.1, then the restart only happens if necessary (if you change something like binning, capture area, colour space). If loading the profile will only change things like exposure and gain then there should be no restart, meaning the capture continues.

cheers,

Robin
