BYEOS Scripts

[jolasa1]

Can one write scripts to control BYEOS imaging sessions?

 

Link to instructions?

I use 3.1.3 Premium.

 

How do I create, save and load image capture plans?

 

Thanks,

The load/save links are just under the plan in imaging mode... just above the "Start Capture" button.

As Guylain said, they are in the Capture Plan Center if you have the Premium version of BYE and they are located just below the plan itself in both the Imaging and Preview screens.

 

The Load, Save, and Save As buttons have typical Windows meanings. The Reset button replaces the currently-displayed plan with a default plan. The Preview tab allows you to create and save capture plans while not connected to a camera.

I intended to attach a screenshot.  Here it is.

Set up a test capture plan test and Saved it. 

 

And I see a max of 25 capture plans in BYEOS.  Is it possible to have more that 25 capture plans?

 

The saved file has lines that start like this:

Seq=1|Exposures=1|Tv=Bulb|.....

Seq=2|Exposures=2|Tv=Bulb|..

 

If I want more than 25 sessions, could I edit the file and insert lines greater than 25, like this:

Seq=50|Exposures=3|Tv=1/8| .....

Seq=51|Exposures=2|Tv=1/30|....

etc.

No you can not... but why you feel the need to have more than 25 when each line can have I think 999 or 9999 exposure per line.

 

You can set the loop function just right of the start capture button to have the plan loop indefinitely until you press abort.

Trying to use BYEOS for timelapse sequences with bulb ramping (ramping/changing of exposure, aperture, ISO) for each individual shot.

 

There are lots of other software solutions to do this, but since I LOVE BYEOS, I just thought I would see if BYEOS could do timelapse.  Guess it is not possible.

Ah, that makes sense.

You should create a post in the Feature Suggestion Topic describing what you would like to see, and why.

BYE/BYN does not expose a script interface.

 

With the Premium version you can create, save, and load image capture plans with or without a camera being connected.
