Temp setting

SUMMARY
Start cooling in CCD Menu. Set to 0°C (or any other Temp x). The temp drops to 1.5°C (or x+1.5°C) displayed in EKOS. However, the temp drops below target uncontrolled (as observed by disconnecting and reconnecting immediately, see screen shot 2)

Temperature control works perfectly under Windows.


STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Connect ASI1600MM
2. Set temp to x and press "set"
3. Observe temperature

OBSERVED RESULT
Temp displayed is x+1.5°C

After reconnecting CCD (fast) temp << x (not controlled)

EXPECTED RESULT
Temperature x°C

I just tested with 178C cooled camera and no problems at all.

Thank you for your effort!
In the meantime I have checked with ASICAM for Linux and facing the same problem. It has probably something to do with my computer. https://indilib.org/forum/general/4291-help-cooling-of-asi-stops-1-5c-before-target-temp-asi1600mm.html
