Features (where camera supports)

  • Image exposure
  • Image Binning (up to 3 times in X&Y - this is an artificial limit imposed to shorten automated testing time)
  • Image sub-framing
  • Image preview
  • Setpoint Cooling
  • EFW2 Number of Filters
  • EFW2 Filter selection
  • Camera & Filterwheel Hotplug connect and disconnect
  • Abort exposure time

Lots of bug fixes, some improvements too - things such as being able to set the capture location by simply dragging the directory on it.. I should have time over the next few days to finalise the remaining outstanding bits.

Experimental Alpha Release (internal) - v0.04 (xx Apr 2013)

Changes/Fixes

  • Internal bug fixes and continued restructuring - both for the current and legacy drivers.
  • Added new 490ex series USB codes to current driver
  • Camera and Filterwheel disconnection via thrown ATIKDeviceDisconnectedException
  • Abort exposure/download now works
  • Major improvement for initialisation coping with flushing etc
  • Camera unique identities based on serial numbers etc or bus location
  • USB codes correction - this should pick up 400 series and 16/16C/16HR/16HRC/16ICS series correctly
  • Testing at SGL8: 16HR, 460ex OSC, 314L+ as well as at Olly’s: 11000M, 320E
  • Sorting out of the header files... it’s a little easier - everything should work with one include per driver.
  • Friendly comments in the header files.. documentation!
  • Legacy driver - fixed for exposures less than 1 second

  • Example application - Unlikely to have “unknown” now
  • Example application - File Capture doesn’t show every image but every 10th image
  • Example application - image save location
  • Example application - removed thread race condition (Cocoa binding causing a bypass of my queue..whoops!)

So these will have the testing done at SGL8 too :)
