Hi,
If I happen to try and connect SGP to a FW that isn’t connected to the computer yet, it takes SGP a fairly long time before it spits out an error message such as “error connecting to starlite xpress filter wheel”
Is there anyway to have it immediately spit a message out and not have to wait a half minute before you can do anything else - SGP freezes when I accidentally try and connect the FW when I haven’t connected it to the computer yet.
Probably not, at least in SGP.
SGP sends a connect command to the filterwheel and expects to get some sort of response - either a successful connection or a failure. The driver has to take the time it takes to do this. Usually if a device isn’t plugged in or not turned on the driver will know this instantly because it gets an error when it tries t establish communication.
You need to contact the filterwheel driver to see if there’s something they can do.
Hi Chris,
Thanks.
