Atik 383L+ / TheSkyX / Ascom Driver 1 or 2 ?
« on: July 04, 2016, 09:54:32 am »
Hi all !!

I've installed my 383L+ with The SkyX + camera Add-on
First i've used Atik Universal Driver but there is no information about Power in % for the cooloer and The SkyX crash after click disconnect.
There is also a solution to use ASCOM Camera Driver in The SkyX.
But I've 2 Ascom driver Atik:

"Atik Camera" and "Atik Camera 2"
It semms to work with the first but maybe it's better to use the 2 ?

In the setting, there is a checkbox "trace on"
What does that mean ?

Thank you for your help

These questions are covered in the ASCOM driver help file.  You had the option to see this when you installed the driver.

The two drivers are identical except for the name.  This is so that someone who is using two Atik camera can use them together, one for imaging and one for guiding for example.

The trace on check box will generate a trace file that gives lots of information about hw the driver is running.  Practically every command is recorded and so are all errors.  Details are in the help file.
