X2Plugin Update to change gain and offset via CameraDependentSetting

maudy

Hi Sam,

Any chance for a TheSkyX X2plugin update to allow gain and offset changes via the TheSkyX scripting?

Scripting has the CameraDependentSetting API which can make this possible.

Please let me know what is possible or if this will never happen.

Thank you,

Hi Sam,

That setting have always been there. What is not available is to use the setting via TheSkyX java script. As an example, ccdsoftCamera.ExposureTime = 10;

The SkyX has a class, CameraDependentSetting, that allows vendors to make available settings that can be altered.

This could allow some scripting like:

ccdsoftCamera.ExposureTime = 600;
CameraDependentSetting.settingsName("gain") = 200;
CameraDependentSetting.settingsName("offset") = 32;
ccdsoftCamera.FilterIndexZeroBased = 7; // Ha
ccdsoftCamera.ExposureTime = 600;
ccdsoftCamera.TakeImage();
CameraDependentSetting.settingsName("gain") = 75;
CameraDependentSetting.settingsName("offset") = 12;
ccdsoftCamera.FilterIndexZeroBased = 0; // Lum
ccdsoftCamera.TakeImage();

Currently I am attempting to find a way to manipulate the ./.ZWO/X2ASIconfig.xml manually to attempt this and unfortunately the file is not proper XML so it is more difficult than it needs to be.

Please let me know if this is something that can be added for TheSkyX in a future release.

Thank you,
Stephen
