PCI-Addressing

The board information integer MultiCam parameter implementing the PCI-addressing mechanism is PciPosition.

Each PCI slot in the PC can be identified by means of a number different from slot to slot. The numbering system can differ from PC to PC, but is consistent for a given model of PC running the same BIOS revision. This number is independent of the board type effectively inserted in the slot.

Setting PciPosition to a value previously known as valid uniquely designates one of the boards. Any set or get function involving a "board information" parameter will address the designated board.

Getting PciPosition returns the position of the presently selected MultiCam board.
