SharpCap Forums

Hi Robin, using the hints and code snippets you gave me I meanwhile managed to write a set of scripts that can do what I want: execute sequences of exposures, that can be started and stopped from the "outside", including from another machine. For monitoring when "CaptureSingleFrameToA...

That would be GREAT!

Unfortunately there is no way to launch the console from within a script or on startup. The only options you have in that area are to run a script on startup using either the startup script settings or the /runscript command line parameter. I can live with that, but I really wish the console window...

Hi Robin, thanks for your explanations, this is most interesting. I was not aware of the fact, that here a notification might not be received because a process is too busy. I remember "Application.DoEvents" from other situations, where a WindowsForm can be prevented from being locked this ...

Hi Robin, at the moment I stop a running async-exposure with StopCapture() import sys import time filename="D:\\SCTests\\testexposure.fits" exptime=8000 SharpCap.SelectedCamera.Controls.Exposure.Value=exptime SharpCap.SelectedCamera.CaptureSingleFrameToAsync(filename) time.sleep(3) # this ...

Hi, my script does a sequence of single frame exposures of e.g. 120 seconds, here the relevant lines: filename="D:\\SCTests\\testexposure.fits" exptime=120000 SharpCap.SelectedCamera.Controls.Exposure.Value=exptime SharpCap.SelectedCamera.CaptureSingleFrameTo(filename) Now sometimes I need...

Hi, thanks, I did read the thread you mention last night ( I searched the whole subforum for informations about scripting and my problem...) I also saw, that Pyro is rather complicated (to me) and maybe a little overcomplex for the simple things I want to achieve. I will study the webserver and Pyro...

Hi Robin, thank you for the response! What a pity, from MaximDl I am used to be able to control nearly anything from outside, what is very comfortable for customizing everything. I am running a dual setup and have a DIY software environment to control everything (I don't use NINA). So I will look in...

Hi, I know the basics of coding in c#, but am rather new to python. I would like to initate exposures in SharpCap from an external program, for example Win Explorer (or cmd, batch or another C#-program). I have a python script snippet, that basically does what I want, but it's working only when exec...
