Hi Eric - Thanks for the update and feedback. Regarding the input voltage: Several camera models (designed since about 2018) have a simple...
MaxIm needs authorization to register itself for certain security-sensitive functions - for example, the scripting interface that allows third...
Al, if you've got PC issues, see tips #3,4,5 here: https://forum.diffractionlimited.com/threads/windows-10-and-11-tune-up-fixing-pc-issues.8196/
Same applies to TheSkyX 32-bit and 64-bit - that should not be running while you are trying to debug, because the TSX Camera Add On will try to...
Additional point: MaxIm 6.x and SBIG Driver Checker use 32-bit sbigudrv.dll (usually in Windows\SysWOW64, could be elsewhere too). MaxIm 7.x...

The filter wheel is connected to and controlled by the STXL camera, which uses the legacy SBIG Universal Driver. DL Config uses the DL API...
Bias level is high in 6.50 (11000); and very low in 7.1.2. (250). Any chance you have the guide sensor set to EXTERNAL in 7.1.2. ? eg it's not...
You don't need clear skies to take darks or bias frames :D
Steve - DO NOT CONNECT/DISCONNECT the filter wheel when it has power! This can damage the filter wheel or the camera I2C AUX port interface. It...

Adding @Tim to the discussion in case he can provide additional info.
