I think the optical train is a good idea - however, I need to get used to it. Right now I have an issue I simply can not solve:
I have only one camera connected for the moment (configuring a spectroscope on the bench). So all I have configured is Telescope Simulator and my Atik camera. When I connect, the OT window pops up, and I make sure my Atik camera i choosen. I click on Close, and turn to the Capture tab (only thing I want to do is capture). But there everything is greyed out - see screenshot. What am I missing?
I works nicely if I just run simulators, but not when using my camera.
Ah, solved it. Found a Post by Kevin, saying he changed to another OT and then back, then it worked.
So I created a secondary "New train", identical to the first, changed to that, and controls were all back, then back to my Primary train, and controls are there again.
But this was not so when using simulators. Works here now, but might be good to know.
This is a “feature” that happens to those who used early versions of the optical trains implementation. It should happen only once per profile and should be gone if the workaround was applied once.
