[amsat-bb] Re: FUNcube-1 Dashboard - auto start data capture?

[Paul Stoetzer]

You could use a macro recorder to record and automatically set the
mouse movements and clicks necessary to start the capture. Windows
back in the days of 3.1 use to include one that was really cool, but
it doesn't anymore.

The best one I know if is Automator for Windows, but it's not free.

Hopefully a future release of the Dashboard might be able to include
command line options to autostart capturing.
