Connect the camera to the lens and take two flat field pictures inside the shadowless lampshade. Try to ensure that the brightness of the two pictures is uniform and consistent, and it is recommended to use 1/3 or 1/2 of the saturation value. Here we can give these two photos any name, such as A1 and A2. Open the MAXIm DL software, use the
QHYCCD Firmware Upgrade Instructions V1.2 (for 20220824 version and above) 1 Upgrade Procedure NOTE: 1 During the upgrade process, be careful not to power off or shoot. 2 Before upgrading, if you have previously kept an older version of the firmware upgrade tool locally, please discard it and use the new firmware update tool (20220824 version) instead. 1.1. Use the USB3.0 cable to
SDK version 2021.7.6 later supports the 32bit image data accquirement function. This function is useful for the 16bit cmos like QHY600,QHY268,QHY411, QHY461. When 2*2,3*3,4*4 binning the data range will become 18bit, 19bit and 20bit. Since it exceed the 16bit range, we add the 32bit data transfer function for these cameras. How to get to know the camera support 32bit image? The IsQHYCCDControlAvailable(qhyccd_handle *handle, CONTROL_ID controlId)
SDK Demo Qt Demo If you are new to QHYCCD SDK. We recommend you to try this demo at first. This demo use many button to represent each APIs. By just simple click these button by sequence you will know how to call these function step by step. This demo is a lot simple instead of the reading SDK document. Also this QT demo is a

This document will introduce the APIs for these function. How to know if supported Before you call the temperature API. You need to use the IsQHYCCDControlAvailable API to check if the camera supports it. If QHYCCD_SUCCESS returned,

For example. the QHYCFW3S-7(1.25inch) filter has 7 posiiton. The position is 1,2,3,4,5,6,7 . For QHYCFW2 and QHYCFW3, the filter posiiton is marked on the disk. 1.

From the Version 2019.2.15 and later, The QHYCCD add the ReadMode APIs. Because the mode change will change the whole define of the basic image X, Y. And the memeory allocate.

See the cloud document of this article on https://note.youdao.com/share/?token=AD62E2033F534E7CB3607CEC405CB3B3&gid=7195236 There is two basic control mode for temperature control. One is the Auto Mode. Another is Manual Mode. Manual Mode Camera is not working in auto temperature regular. Just set a PWM value of the TEC controller in camera. The PWM range is 0-255. 0 is minumum TEC power. 255 is maxium TEC power. Please note

In WINDOWS application development, QHYCCD provides a real-time output through DEBUGVIEW software in order to facilitate developers to call QHYCCD SDK to write their own programs, verify the parameters of incoming and outgoing SDKs, and verify that the calling steps are correct. The method of debugging information. In the QHYCCD SDK development package, there is a directory called SDK with output debug information output. If
C# wrapper Under C#, you need to call the QHYCCD API from qhyccd.dll by dynamic api calling, by using the DllImport. The following wrapper code is taken from our C# project for QHYCCD ASCOM Driver. using System; using System.Collections.Generic; using System.Linq; using System.Text; using System.Runtime.InteropServices; using StructModel; namespace ASCOM.QHYCCD { class libqhyccd { [DllImport(“qhyccd.dll”, EntryPoint = “InitQHYCCDResource”,
