How we conducted the SharpCap Sensor Analysis
We connected the camera to an MS Windows laptop using a USB 3.0 port on the computer.
In SharpCap, we selected the OGMA ASCOM driver to connect to the camera.
Note that we didn't use the DirectShow driver because the USB transfer speed is slower with DirectShow.
We ran sensor analysis for every type of Conversion Gain available.
