I have some dobts regarding the two fields Camera Gain and Camera Resolution in the Subframe selector module

My camera QHY183C has a 12 bit resolution and the unity gain in a 12 bit scale is 0.97 e/ADU




So I assume I should select the following in the SS properties



However, when I open the raw FITS I always get the range of 0-65535 (16-bit). Using the BasicCCDParameters script, and setting the Readout Depth to 16 and  "Max ADU" to  65535, the calculated gain is 0.06



So I am wondering if in place of the above 12 bits parametes I should enter the 16bits parameters in the SSelector, or if it does not make any difference at all



Also, why is dark current always "-nan(ind)"?

thanks
