Script to set exposure parameters

Is it possible to use AppleScript to do something like the following:

Get the current ISO setting and store it in a variable (myISO)
Capture (this is the easy part:)
Set the ISO to myISO * 2
Wait 1 second
Capture
Set the ISO to myISO / 2
Wait 1 second
Capture

Any help with this would be greatly appreciated. I'd like to do this for the Sony a7rii.

I'm practicing on the a6000 right now and I get this far:

tell application "Capture One 9"
capture
set myISO to ISO of camera
end tell

This results in the following:

error "Can’t get ISO of camera." number -1728 from «class CCis» of «class CObj»

  Hi,
  
  I'm not a big scripter 😊 and the AppleScript interface has some Problems/ BUGS
  
  But the first error in your script is -
  the first one you need crate or open a Document (Session or Catalog)
  then your Document has anything to do
  - select camera
  - then you can (maybe) set ISO on selected camera into opened document
  
  You can find some things in the C1 AppleScript Function-Library

  Yeah, I'm not a scripting guy either. I've looked through the C1P Applescript library but it's all Greek to me. I mean, I see the items that are listed but not really how to use it.

  Some examples would be really fine. I will try later if I can help you.

  Hi,
  
  I'm not sure whats wrong here (maybe again a BUG in C1 AppleScript Library), but you can try:
  
  tell application "Capture One 9"
  tell document "Juni 2016.cosessiondb" (here your Session or Catalog-Name with extension!!!)
  set myCamera to make new camera with properties {name:"Canon EOS 5D Mark III", ISO:"100"}
  end tell
  end tell

  I can capture using only the following:
  
  tell application "Capture One 9"
  capture
  end tell
  
  That part is working with my Sony a6000. I get the error when I try to get the current ISO setting of the camera. The script states that it can't get it. That's confusing to me because Capture One can see the ISO just fine when tethering.

  Where can I find the C1P Applescript library documentation?
  Please can some one supply a url.
  Thanks

  Is it possible to use Applescript to apply a COP style to a set of images in a folder?
