Using digiCamControl via scripts/command line #382

This tool is awesome, thank you for providing it.

I am wondering if it is possible to drive the software through command line? Our goal is to automate (to the extend possible) data acquisition for stereophotogrammetry.

Thanks, I just started testing this. I can get the command line working with this command:

CameraControlCmd.exe /folder c:\temp\capture /filenametemplate test_ /counter 2 /wait 1000 /aperture 16 /capture
digiCamControl command line utility running

New Camera is connected ! Driver :Canon EOS Rebel T6
Canon event 520
Photo transfer begin.
Transfer started :c:\temp\capture\test_0004.JPG
Transfer done :c:\temp\capture\test_0004.JPG
Photo transfer done.
Waiting 1000 milliseconds

But when I turn this into a simple text file called test.dccscript and run it via command, I get this error:

CameraControlCmd.exe test.dccscript
digiCamControl command line utility running

New Camera is connected ! Driver :Canon EOS Rebel T6
Loading error :Data at the root level is invalid. Line 1, position 1.

Can you point at an example of correctly formatted script file? And may be an example of how can I trigger back to back to shots (with 1000ms wait in between). Adding multiple /captures at the end of the command didn't do the trick.
