Subframing is enabled now with the update merged today, also the mutex is there, both are code changes and nothing to configure as such. My camera is using firmware 795 so the resolution seems to change between versions.

On my Atik 460 subframing does not work.

indi_setprop "Atik 460ex.CCD_FRAME.WIDTH=600" does not change Atik 460ex.CCD_FRAME.WIDTH
Same with Atik 460ex.CCD_FRAME.X

Frames became smaller, one Pixel is missing in each direction. What is this good for?

Do you try to set the other values of CCD_FRAME all at a time?

With my Atik314 if I do :
indi_setprop "Atik 314L.CCD_FRAME.WIDTH=600"
I get a message: [ERROR] Invalid frame requested (-1,-1) (600 x -1)

But if I do
indi_setprop "Atik 314L.CCD_FRAME.X=100;Y=100;WIDTH=600;HEIGHT=400"
this work as expected

What an idea! Yes this really works.
So I only have to adjust my script.

Thank You!

Just want to mention user @kookoo_gr encounters issues with (probably) the new Atik driver in this thread : indilib.org/forum/ekos/3670-plate-solver-fails-to-solve.html

Tried to debug an issue I've noticed earlier which is that if I abort a long exposure, say 300s, and start a short exposure for focus/alignment what not, the remaining exposure time from ArtemisExposureTimeRemaining doesn't start from the short exposure length but continues from where the 300s exposure would be causing all subsequent exposures to fail until the original long exposure ends. I added some debug prints and it seems ArtemisStopExposure returns 1 instead of 0 which indicates invalid parameter, which is odd considering it only takes the camera handle as input. I also tried changing that to ArtemisAbortExposure but it behaved the same way.

I informed Atik about this, we'll see their feedback.

Abort issue should now be fixed in master, it was a case of not waiting for camera to go idle after abort, which causes the sensor to be flushed in a similar way as regular image download would and also takes the same amount of time and starting a new exposure during this time caused this issue.

Also noticed the large bin options, but they seem to work fine, though something like 32x32 binning isn't very useful :)

Hello,
I use yesterday for the first time this new driver. It is very good to have a free driver for atik.
I schedule poses of 300s.
The images stops after 30 exposures (But it was time to sleep).
I don't now why, I will look at the logs.
Anyway, it is a good news to have a free atik driver.
