Issues with ASCOM driver and 314L+
« on: September 17, 2018, 12:10:20 pm »
I've just tried the current ASCOM drivers and there seems to be a few issues,  the most serious is that the LastExposureStartTime property seems to throw an Input String was not in the correct format exception.

I'm using ASCOM driver 7.0.8.25151.

A log file shows this:
Code: [Select]
11:35:23.744 StartX                    set 0
11:35:23.745 StartY                    set 0
11:35:23.747 NumX                      set 3362
11:35:23.748 NumY                      set 2537
11:35:23.756 StartExposure             Duration 2, Light True
11:35:23.757 StartExposure:            bin 1,1: subframe 0,0:3362,2537: high priority False, amplifier switched-False, set dark mode FalseStartExposure, started
11:35:36.876 LastExposureDuration      get 2
11:35:36.899 LastExposureStartTime     get 〲㠱〭ⴹ㜱ㄠ㨰㔳㈺3
11:35:36.927 ImageArray                getGetImageData sx 0, sy 0, width 3362, height 2537, bx 1, by 1, Array[3362,2537] done
11:35:41.561 ImageArrayVariant         start Array 3362,2537 done

The value expected from the hardware is a text string containing the date and time such as "2018-09-16 09:18:55"

Here's the start of the log, it should show the hardware versions.

Hope this helps,
