Read Image Timeout Error Message
Posté : 29 nov. 2021, 21:13
I have a problem downloading the science camera. It is intermittent but can stop a sequence routine. After an image is acquired the Atik 460 will send a message "Digitizing" and the image downloads and then a message "Waiting for the guiding to be O.K". I do not know what it waits for . I see several sub pixel reports but it goes thru about 18 cycles and then either starts acquiring the next image or sends a message "Digitizing" after 2 minutes it gives a " Read image error timeout 120 sec.
By trial and error I have found out that the delay button has an affect. A two second delay in much worse than the default 1 Second. Setting the delay to zero has greatly reduced the errors but I can till wake in the morning to an error message and a lost night data.
The guider does seem to play some role in the problem as the problem has never occurred while shooting bias, flats and darks. It has occured with all version 10 I have used and on multiple computers.
Prism- Advanced version 10.4.20.930 / AP1100 mount /C14/ Optec focuser/ Lhires III / Spox calibration box / Camera#1 Atik 460ex /Camera# 2 LodstarX2 / Camera#3 ASi 120 connected to a Celestron 9x50 finder scope for plate solving. The mount is newer than the problem. AP's APCC is used to unpark and park the mount and the AP Driver buttons are used to place the target in the slit. Prism does everything else.
I have three videos, but the attachments tab will not let me attach the mp4 files
