Hello, sorry for questioning this issue again, but by all the articles I found I never got clear reason for the idle problem of the ccdc. With my camera its a kind of randomly problem. I grab images with the yavta tool. I configured it to wait for pressing ENTER before giving the STREAMON command. So now sometimes all works fine. I grab my images and they are as I imagined. But sometimes I get the ccdc won't become idle error. I really don't understand what this error causes. Are there any clear reasons what this problem causes?
