increases the read noise by a factor of 4.
The software should have had a warning on it because I had
to find out the hard way -
although later I found that out inside the instruction manual.
So - always use slow download but I don't know
if it's true for your camera?
It's easy enough to find out by testing in the 2 different modes.

Gee...this was a while back...
I've since solve the USB3.0 Com issues with a StarTech Active USB 3.0 USB-A to USB-B Cable. (tried several other so-called "active" cables...a waste of time and money
)
The StarTech's were not too badly priced on Amazon (read about $120) and work very well.
As a result the most software that will run the camera is now stable and the maximum frame rates have increased significantly.
If the weather co-operates
I'll likely give the 183C a bit more of a workout next new moon...we shall see!
