Is it possible to address an individual camera using the command line trigger? I have a D800e and a D5100, am using XP. I was hoping that session or preset would allow this, played with it, but can't figure how.

That's great and will be very useful, thanks.I also note that the command line program takes a while (around 6 sec on my XP box) to load the driver and start to take the picture. Is it possible to load/unload the driver with one switch, then trigger the camera with another, with the intent to provide faster response to a trigger command? A useful sequence for me might read something like  cameracontrolcmd /load=5100  cameracontrolcmd /trig  cameracontrolcmd /trig  cameracontrolcmd /trig  cameracontrolcmd /unload  cameracontrolcmd /load=d800  cameracontrolcmd / trigThis might be a clue as to how to do the camera specific commanding, too.Thanks again and best regards.

Any update on this, the capability to trigger a specific connected camera via command line?I like your scripting idea but am not sure it will work for me since the way I'm using your command line utility is from within another executing piece of code.I was looking for a way to use sessions to provide a camera-specific capability but that doesn't seem to be what they're for.
