Panorama of 3 Rows + Nadir + Zenith ‒
EXAMPLE 1 (SL)
The MSS example Panorama of 3 Rows + Nadir + Zenith (MSS) can be
translated in S-Language as follows:
S=90, 1=0_0, =_30, 11=45, 12=-45, 12=-90,
=90_0, =
The S-Language also accepts precise values for the pause, of integer and
float type. For example, 2.5: means 2.5 seconds. To cancel a pause, you need
to set another pause, of zero seconds: 0:
S=90, 1= 2.5: 0_0, = 0: _30, 11=45, 12=-45, 12=-90,
=90_0, =
Panorama of 3 Rows + Nadir + Zenith ‒ EXAMPLE 2 (SL)
In the Script text area, :: will be automatically replaced with = (equal
sign), to allow more easy input from phones.
This is an example similar to the previous one. Suppose we want to script a
panorama starting, again, from parked position, made of 12 photos around,
3 rows in total, at 0° and at +/- 45°, + zenith and nadir. In this case, we want
zenith and nadir to be taken at the end .
This way of scripting is more complex,
but allows more flexibility for a particular
shooting pattern.
In the
parked position, the camera –
mounted on the upper rail – is facing up,
as in the image on the right, and MECHA
has to rotate the upper rail 90° to
photograph the first row, as required in
our example. So we specify the parked
start position for MECHA-V as follows:
S=90 .
