QHY 163 M hangs on image download

Hi all

I recently got a new mono camera the QHY 163 mono. Yesterday I tried to download images while using my old Windows XP acquisition laptop. Thedownload file hanged every time. Reached out to Qiu and they released a new ASCOM driver. I was able to test it on Frame and Focus and was able to download a lot of images. When I went to acquisition the download failed on the 2nd image. I also tried it on Maxim with the same ASCOM drivers and the download works fine. I have a newer laptop that has USB3 which works fine, but before I risk a new laptop to dew and frost I was hoping to see if you guys have any ideas?
The log files are here:

I tried several things including various ports, and even uploaded the new QHY drivers and it still fails on image acquisition.

Thanks

Tried again in Maxim, same issue as SGP. In Frame/Focus works fine but in Acquisition also fails :frowning:

Tried on a USB 3 laptop and the full run worked fine. May have to use the new laptop for image acquisition :frowning:

Sounds like there might be additional issues with their ASCOM driver if it’s having issues in multiple applications. Maybe try reaching out to Qhy again and see if they can be of any assistance.

Thanks,
