2.6.0.21 Changes:
•Implemented "Disconnect all equipment at sequence end" option (found in sequence settings)Just love this....tried it out tonight. Weather was not good enough for imaging but good enough for some testing and this new enhancement worked a treat. Great for us Dummies that can't write scripts.
Of course it opens the door for further requests - I guess you seen that coming :-). This feature does not carry from one instance to the next (i.e. if SGP shut down today....unlike some other settings, this particular "switch" needs to be turned on again for the next imaging session. Perhaps that is how it is designed, but I would think that those that will use this feature may want it on, if not always, than at least more often than not. We'll watch see if anybody agrees.
Next up for consideration would be the other side of the coin - connect all equipment on sequence start. This purely so that if I want to start a sequence at midnight....I can have my power control, power up the mount, camera, filter wheel, powered hubs etc. just before time and as the sequence starts it will connect to the equipment, cool the camera & start as normal. Again, not being able to write a script....this would be another huge step forward for me and possibly others.
The 'connect all equipment before sequence start' is not a feature request as such....just throwing open an idea. I well know how busy you guys are and how much the software has evolved over the last few years. My first reason for starting this thread was to say thanks for making another step in the nights tasks just that little bit easier.
