Re: [micro-manager-general] SPOT insight color camera

[Stefan K. <ste...@gm...>]

OK, I guess this was a beginner's mistake: the error message  "Attempt to set
"Core Camera" to "Spot". Core property is ready only or the request value is
not allowed." disappeared once the empty value field was filled with the
corresponding spot camera. However, this had not solved the problem with the
black image. For this, the bit depth in the properties had to be changed
from the default 32 to 14 (or lower).



I'm trying to run a Spot RT3 with MM on Windows XP SP3. After installing the
trial spot software (on which the camera runs fine) the camera is
recognized, but I get the same error as Felix:  "Attempt to set "Core
Camera" to "Spot". Core property is ready only or the request value is not
allowed." After saving the configuration I only get black images, while
there seems to be something going on in the background as the mouse appears
in its hourglass shape and, as Felix mentioned, when I start the spot
software it remarks that the camera is busy. Changing the device name from
"Spot" to "Camera" or "camera" did not help in my case.

Have you got any more ideas?

Best,
Stefan
