i can't see a way in Eclipse Orchestrator to just update exposure settings via USB without taking a shot. presumably that is your own code updated by Fred B that was able to do that? (Is Fred B associated with Little Bramper, or is that custom code for your project that you are referring to)?

thanks for the help!

Try SETEXP

eg.

SETEXP,2011/09/01,-,22:09:54.000,5d2,0.001,2.8,100,0.0 00,RAW,,N,Test

Yes, Fred B (EO author) made the mod for my project mid last year, so it should be in the latest version. I can send you my version if it doesn't work. Can't say that it'll improve your turn around time. I used a variation on the serial triggering. Rather than trigger directly, EO sent a serial command with shutter duration to a 2nd triggering device. Ultimately the same result though.
