MECHA’s Simple Scripting (MSS)
Starting with firmware version
(1)2116
,
MECHA’s Simple Scripting (MSS)
reached a level of flexibility that allows easy scripting for common shooting
patterns, for both single and dual axis applications.
A MSS script looks like the following. No need to fully understand it now, as
MECHA will generate it for you in most cases.
Panorama of 3 Rows + Nadir + Zenith (MSS)
Suppose we want to script a panorama
starting from
parked
position, made of 12
shots around, zenith, nadir, one row at 0°,
one row at +45° and, finally, one at -45°. The
MSS script, in this case, can be:
SP,Z,N,0x12,45x12,-45x12
In the
parked
position, the camera –
mounted on the upper rail – is facing up.
If we want the starting and ending positions
to be
level
, the script will be:
S
L
,Z,N,0x12,45x12,-45x12
And if we want the starting and ending positions to be
raised
, the script
will be:
S
R
,Z,N,0x12,45x12,-45x12
MSS scripts are row and column oriented and help you photograph a
panorama with few clicks or button presses, without the need to
understand the script. You only provide the focal length, and MECHA
generates the script.
