14 August 2018 update Further scripts have been added to the discussion by Dorodnic and the user AntoineWefit, resulting in a script at the end of the discussion by Antoine that "will capture and save a picture for each connected D415 simultaneously (one can easily replace the picture capture with a pointcloud capture for example)".
