QHYCCD QHY600 User Manual page 5

QHY600
The optic black area and overscan area use for precise calibration and for the calibration without the bias
frame and dark frame, or other scientific using. Due to it is a non-image area. QHYCCD does not guarantee
the signal quality in the overscan area. If you do not use this area, you can select the option "ignore
overscan area" in the ASCOM driver or select a ROI of effective area range in SharpCAP.
Input Voltage Requirement
The QHY600 requires the input voltage between 11V to 13.8V. If the input voltage is too low it will cause
the camera not working or reboot if the TEC power percent is high. So please make sure the input voltage
arrived to the camera is enough. The best is 12V. Please note there is the resistance for the 12V power
cable. If the cable is very long, when in high power, the resistance will cause a voltage drop on this
cable. The formula is:
V (drop) = I * R (cable)
We recommend that avoid to use a very long 12V power cable. You can put the 12V AC adatper more
close to the camera.
64BIT Software
One of the QHY600 image is 120MBytes. It will take much more memory to capture, buffer, and display
and process it. So that we recommend to use the 64bit software for QHY600. eg:SharpCAP x64 , N.I.N.A
x6 etc. Although there is 4GB memory for 32bit but since there is many 32bit software will run within this
memory area, so the remain memory is not so much.
