Alternative script to eliminate the physical button on the T-SCAN hawk 2

[[In...]]

Just started getting to know the T-SCAN hawk 2 & ZEISS INSPECT. I realise that the button (main trigger button to start the scan) on the T-SCAN hawk 2 is in place so that there is no need to operate the software separately on a laptop. 

 

However, in reverse, I was wondering if there is an option / method to operate the start of the scan on the software without the use of the button? Ultimately eliminating the physical function of the button. By modifying / adding on to the Python script?
