Scripting

[mjcharron]

Is there a more detailed documentation on scripting? Or at least something on the various camera properties?

[Duka Istvan]

I started a new script system based on tcl syntax but still under development but you can test it using latest beta http://digicamcontrol.com/wiki/index.php/Tcl_Scripting

[mjcharron]

How about the camera properties?ex:<setcamera property="iso" value="200"/> what is the defined property for changing the shutter speed, f/ stop and other properties?

[Dariusz]

Same question really... what are the commands to set ISO, Shutter, White Balance, F Stop etc etc?

Check this http://digicamcontrol.com/doc/userguide/singlecmd and http://digicamcontrol.com/doc/userguide/tcl this scripting system replaced the old xml based

Humh

Yeah I tried

dcc Set Shutter 1s
dcc Set Shutter 1/4000
dcc Set Aperture 12

But it did not work. Or maybe the issues is somewhere else?

I'm trying to write a tcl script which I can execute directly from Windows without invoking digicamcontrol. I plan to use the single command system (CameraControlRemoteCmd.exe). I notice in the threads the mention of the use of "dcc" in tcl scripts. Can someone help me with this? Are there examples?

[Duka Istvan]

No way to execute tcl script using CameraControlRemoteCmd yet, you can execute dcc commands one by one using CameraControlRemoteCmd: http://digicamcontrol.com/doc/userguide/singlecmd

Thanks for the response.

I have tried both both CameraControlCmd.exe and CameraControlRemoteCmd.exe
Not sure which one I should use.

When I run CameraControlCmd.exe I hear the camera take a picture. After that it hangs.
I don't see any file saved.

When I run CameraControlRemoteCmd.exe it just gives error messages.

I also notice I have to turn the camera off and then on again for response. It seems to go into sleep mode. Is this normal?
