I/O Signaling

MultiCam provides 3 easy ways to manage I/Os signaling in applications:

With the callback signaling, a dedicated thread is started as soon as a specified event occurs.
With the waiting signaling, the application waits for a specified event to occur.
With the OS event signaling, the events are reported and managed through the Windows mechanisms.

MultiCam Parameters

Each signal generated by MultiCam is associated with an MCSIGNALINFO structure.
With the callback signaling method, the callback function is registered with the McRegisterCallBack function.
With the waiting signaling method, the MultiCam McWaitSignal function is used.
With the OS event signaling method, the event is handled by Windows functions such as WaitForSingleObject, WaitForMultipleObjects, MsgWaitForMultipleObjects. The MultiCam function McGetSignalInfo provides information about a particular signal.
Signals are enabled through the SignalEnable parameter that can be set to ON or OFF.
The signals are designated by the association of the input pin as defined in the MultiCam documentation and one of the 3 possible events: GOHIGH, GOLOW and GOOPEN.
