It also flushes the serial port buffers completely now and interrupts any currently executing streams on the camera. This means that even if the camera is in the middle of a frame grab (for whatever reason) and the app asks for a new frame, it will abort the first one and ask for a fresh new one. You should never get case 3 from above, now. If you get case 2 (I'm really not sure how this is happening since the size is correct) then it should fix itself on the next try.

Good luck!

OK. With the 1/31/06 version, I do not get case 3 in 20 tries. Case 2 still occurs, but the GUI recovers in the next frame grab. Thanks for all your effort.

Peter,

I'm glad to hear that it's working better. I really wish we could figure out what's going on with the 2nd case. Does it return an error when you get case 2? (I'm referring to the error cluster that appears on the front panel, not the pop up window.) It may be a screwy hardware thing.
