Board Identification: Addressing a Board
The MultiCam driver is capable of multiple grabbers servicing. This means that there can be more than one MultiCam-compliant frame grabber board in the host computer running under the MultiCam environment.
The board object encompasses a set of parameters aimed at controlling and describing the full set of features associated to these several boards.
Each board is described by a set of similar parameters. In order to specifically reach the parameters concerning a pointed board, the board object features a board addressing mechanism.
Four different ways are provided to address a particular board:
The board-class parameters constituting the "Board Information" category are similar to the board addressing mechanism available in the channel class. However, as board-class parameters, they can only get information.
The number of boards recognized by the MultiCam driver can be returned through the configuration-object BoardCount parameter.
