Reading Temperature From ASI174MM

james1ca

Is there a standalone utility that will read the internal temperature on the ASI174MM? I know it can be done with an application like Firecapture, but I don't want to use that software since all of my imaging is done with Sequence Generator Pro (which unfortunately doesn't appear to log the camera temperature or any other of the driver settings such as gain or offset).

I guess what I really want to know is can you read the camera temperature (or the other settings) using the ASCOM driver?

Hi James

you can write a small tool to read temperature from 174 if you know programming

it's simple to do with our SDK

So, I guess what you are saying is that an application can't access the temperature value or the current gain or offset value using the ASCOM driver. Thus, a user can open the ASCOM device settings and change them but once you close the ASCOM dialog there is no way to read those values back out unless you use ZWO's SDK. Is that correct?

Sam@ZWO

yes, you are correct

Thanks for the update. I guess this is why Sequence Generator Pro doesn't output the camera temperature, gain, and offset it the captured subs.
