02 Use QHY367C in SharpCap
1. Connect your QHY367C to 12V power supply. Connect your QHY367C to your computer with
USB3.0 cable.
2. Run SharpCap. If the aforementioned software and drivers all have been installed properly,
the video image will appear automatically and you will see the frame rate at the lower-left
corner of the software as shown below
3. If you have started the SharpCap before connecting camera to your PC. You can click
menu->cameras->rescan for cameras to search the camera and check on the camera name
(QHY367C in this case).
4.
To make sure the camera can run properly, the software will start the camera at the lowest
speed, which makes the frame rate much lower than the highest frame rate declared on its
webpage. Now you can try to get the most out of it by changing several settings. First you
can try to set the exposure time to 1ms, then try to reduce the “USB traffic” value. For
modern computer with i7-4 core, it should get the max performance. But please note that
not all computers can get the best performance due to various reasons such as the CPU
loading, the saving-energy mode setting, the mainboard performance and USB3.0 port
performance. Sometimes the display size may also impede obtaining the best performance.
So you can try to use the “Zoom” function to reduce the display size to see if it helps.
5.
Adjust the offset. When you block the light thoroughly, you may find that the image is not
really “zero” (entirely black). Sometimes this will lower the quality of image contrast. You
can adjust the offset to make the histogram peak close to zero in order to get a better
background. You can open the histogram to confirm that.
