ASIStudio v1.6.3 performance issue

pauskas

Hi all,

Las week I installed the new ASIStudio version for Linux (by the way the link shows 1.6.2 but the setup is 1.6.3). This new version uses a lot of CPU at the moment you open ASICap, ASIImg or ASILive, even if you don't have any camera connected. This issue don't happen with the previous version 1.6.1. It's a problem because of the battery consumption. In fact, I couldn't finish my session last Saturday night because the laptop battery was empty after about two hours.

I attach some top picture that shows ASIImg using a whole nucleus. Note that I don't have any camera connected right now.

Has anyone the same problem with the linux 1.6.3 version?

Thanks in advance.

I only use the DSO stacking but did a quick test of ASICap in 1.5.6 and 1.6.1 and they both run in a tight CPU loop using 100% CPU. This isn't unusual for GUI's that poll constantly.

Thank you for your feedback, I passed to our devs, they will fix it in the next version.
