I wouldn't expect the ASI1600 to measure ambient: it should measure the sensor temperature and if it's regulated, keep it at that specified temperature, so long as it's capable of doing so. If it can't do that, I'm not sure I'm interested. I've never tried dark scaling, maybe it's fine, but it does make wary.

All their specs are stated at absolute temperatures and they claim regulated cooling (which I take to mean that it is set to a fixed temperature). Cannot think of any reason why they would want to do it differently from everyone else and assume that they put a temperature sensor on the chip and a feedback loop.
