ASISetCameraMode() missing from header

jpaana

With the latest 0.7.0503 SDK there was a function added to the example flow called ASISetCameraMode, but it can't be found from ASICamera2.h. It does exist in the libraries though so I guess it's just an oversight. What would the prototype and purpose for the function be? I updated the SDK for INDI driver and occasionally have problem that still exposures seem to progress indefinitely so that if I start 3s exposure, it counts down from 3 to 0, goes back to 3 and counts back to 0 and so on without ever giving out the frame. This doesn't happen every time, sometimes it works as before... My camera is ASI120MM-S, platform Ubuntu 18.04 x64.

Hi Sir，

Sorry for this issue.

This function is used for some special camera mode, and these modes are only for some of our individual customers. Only they need to call this function.

So please forget this function for you.

About the INDI, I am not sure, I need more information.

Thanks

Ok, thanks for the information. The INDI problem seems intermittent as it first worked fine after I replaced the header and libraries and recompiled the driver, but after power cycling the camera I got this issue that the exposure never completed. Then it "fixed" itself after I had power cycled the camera again. Fortunately it seems to work more often than not, but this didn't happen with the old SDK.

Hi，

We tested it in the INDI, it works well. We did not find the issue.

And based on your description, If it could be fixed by itself, So I do not think it is SDK's problem.

If it is SDK's problem, it should always have a problem. Even you re-power the camera.

Thanks

Yes, I think it was some transient phenomena as I haven't had the same issue since.

So that's it. If you meet it again, we'll talk about it.

Thanks
