This parameter defines the arrangement of cameras that can be potentially connected to the frame grabber. However, some of the camera positions declared by the topology may not be connected. The application must select and declare the topology before the first assignation of a MultiCam Channel to this board; the topology may not be modified while at least one channel is assigned to the board.
The following tables list the camera types allowed on each connector of a board.
