Yes, your main sensor is indeed not working. It looks like you're not getting any video signal from the sensor at all. That is just the noise...
Yes, Dual Chip Mode is set, and the autoguider chip is set to Internal in the Setup. Both are correct. You are running a very old version of...
Okay it actually is all zero value. That means there is no video signal coming from the chip. First thing to check - make sure you have set the...
We can't tell anything from screen shots. Please post a FITS image from the autoguide sensor.
I don't have any advice on adjusting the sensor settings, as I haven't experimented with them. We are currently working on a new generation of...
MaxIm DL has always moved the filter wheel as soon as you changed the drop list. If you then click Expose it will wait until the filter wheel has...
Generally speaking, we prefer that people post in separate threads. It's very common for similar-sounding issues to be completely different in...
The FW7 has both options. [IMG] The built-in cable that comes out of the side of the device is an I2C cable. It can only be connected to an...
Ira, from your question I'm assuming you are operating the FW7-STX via its serial interface, instead of from an SBIG camera's I2C port?
You already have access to the public forums (hardware stuff), but you never registered for software support on the forum. You didn't do Step #2...
Yeah that's the weird part, and the reason why I asked Adam to have a look. The only difference on the filter wheel side between firmware 8 and...
FYI we use molecular sieve desiccant, not ordinary silica gel, as it achieves a lower humidity level in the chamber. You can purchase...
I have an AC4040 (firmware 14) and an FW7 on my desk currently. I could not reproduce the issue. It may be a hardware failure in the wheel.
I have a very quick look at the software source code. It appears to cause images to happen back-to-back instead of having a 60 second delay...
Okay I've grabbed an FW7 and tried it out with FW14, and it works just fine. I'm thinking this is some kind of software configuration issue....
My bad - I was thinking you had an AFW. FW7 doesn't have the switch. I'll grab an FW7 and test it with the latest firmware.
The difference between firmware 8 and 14 with respect to the filter wheel is the addition of dual filter wheel support. Can you confirm what...
Please check whether the shutter is closing completely.
Right. But of course the AO-X is connected to the StarChaser, not the 4040. It's possible that your filter wheel didn't work for some reason...
Okay if you find that is an issue, then I can find an AO-X to try with it. That said... the AO-X isn't connected to the AC4040!
