Unable to control temp on my ATIK 383L+ Mono CCD in SGP

I haven't been able to do much imaging over the last 5 months due to constant cloud. But tonight I connected my ATIk 383l+ Mono CCD to SGP and could not get the camera cooled. After switching USB cables, switching computers (both running Windows 7 64Bit Pro) I got the same results. I then wen into ATIKS native "Artemis Capture" software and I can contol the temperature in that program, so I presume it is not the camera.

When connecting the camera in SGP and the temp is set to commence when connected, the green progress bar will move completely across the screen as in completed but the temperature only indicates -0.1 or -0.2° and doesn't go down any further.

I have the lastest .17 revision of SGP and went back to .16 and got excactly the same result. Because I haven't used my 383L+ for over 5 months and there's been about 4 or 5 revisions of SGP, maybe I have to go back further and try another re-install. Unless I have got something entered in a parameter of SGP that I haven't changed that is causing this reading to remain near 0°.

If the camera can be controlled with ATIK's software, (which I verified 3 times and achieved the desired temperature), then I would think the probllem has to be in SGP. And, maybe it is me that has missed something here.

Your help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance,

Randall
