    Dear Sirs,
    I have a strange problem with my Sbig ST8XME camera serial #08081632

    I uploaded some darks and lights in google drive at this link: https://drive.google.com/file/d/0BwMeeisV_DZcSlhqLV9jRWYxVTA/view?usp=drivesdk

    It 's clearly visible a strange pattern noise. The camera is powered with standard power supply 220V. Camera was connected thru a usb powered hub but had the same problem eith direct connection. I usually use SGP PRO to acquire but problem is the same even with Maximdl5 demo.
    I suspected in an interference and tried the following actions:

    -unplugged all instruments
    -unplugged air conditioning
    -used shorter 220v cable
    -used shorter usb cable
    -tried the camera in a friend home (to avoid any ambiental interference)
    -tried 12v power supply (#50388)
    -unplugged cfw8

    Problem is always here and is impossible to calibrate because it varies frame to frame.. i think it is of electronical nature

    Any help would be apreciated

    Andrea
