SBIG ST10 Unable to connect guiding chip (SBIG-STI) in Ekos

Hi,

I'm having difficulties to connect the guiding chip of my dual chip SBIG ST10XME camera (USB2.0).
In previous versions of kstars/EKOS, both chips work fine (like on Astroberry).
However now it seems that you have to define 'optical trains' for each camera/chip.
That works fine for the primary chip in the camera (SBIG-CCD selected)
I then defined a New Train and tried to get the guiding chip also going as SBIG-STI, but it doesn't connect (device not recognized) and tab remains greyed out.

Any suggestions to resolve the SBIG-STI guide chip connection issue with a second optical train ?
I'm using a recently installed INDIlib in Fedora 36 in Local mode. (kstars 3.6.5 and indilib 2.0.0)

Best Regards,
Tom.

I finally managed to get the SBIG ST10 guider connected:

Apparently there is no need for a second optical train for the second (guider) camera chip. (and strangely no longer need to select SBIG-STI for the guider camera).
I changed the profile to both main and guider = SBIG-CCD
When I then also select the primary optical train under the guiding tab in EKOS, the screen is no longer greyed out and I could capture guiding chip images.
