I was just Testing a bunch of gain settings to try to figure out a good and propperly reproduceable way of comparing Noise performance on the Chronos 2.1 for a possible personal future Project, comparing Noise vs Sensor Temperature with different Cooling on the Sensor.
While i did that, i came across a bunch of Gain Settings, that wherent working at all. So i decided to just test them all. For the Sake of time and my sanity, i limited myself to test just the Preset Resolutions at Max. framerate and maximal exposure time. Full list of the Test Results is attached as Excel List, small part of the list is also posted as screenshot. Testing setup was as follows: Resolution was picked, Black Calibration was done for every single Setting, for the ones that Failed i did at least two to 5 Tries at a Black-Calibration. Result was then written down. All testing was performed after allowing the camera to warm up for more than an hour, and the Camera was pluged into the Power adapter the whole duration of the Testing. This is not an test about image Quality, just to see if its even working at all, and surprisingly many of the Gain-Resolution-Framerate Combinations (especially High framerates + High gain, which would be really, really good to have for stuff that doesnt need to look particularly good, but you have to see them Anyways and dont have a ton of light to work with for some Reason) from the Presets wont work.
.
So now, after seeing those results, i wonder, if this is just some mistake on my side (results are VERY reproduceable on my camera, so i doubt that), something wrong with my unit, or an Actuall Bug in firmware. Can someone Confirm the results i got from my test on his camera? please also post if you get completely different results, or have to add any weird bugs like this to this List. I guess there are many more settings which are pretty glitchy, but i think the Preset ones are propably the most used ones, and because of that the most important. Also noticed there are about as many Bugs for Really low framerates and some Custom Resolutions, but didnt want to also test that today, if i do any more Testing like this, i will propably also post it here or start another thread, if its too much off topic to be included here.

#EDIT: Removed the Partial Screenshot from the List and Replaced it with an Screenshot of the Complete List. Screenshot is a bit broken at the bottom, Excel seems to not like huge resolution Monitor setups, but should still be readable.

#EDIT: My Browser also freaks out when trying to display that long image, and wont display it completely, so maybe just download it to view it, if your Browser wont display that correctly also, or look at the Excel file.
