Assigning a Board to a Channel
A physical board must be assigned to a channel instance. The board to channel assignment must be performed immediately after the channel creation before applying any other channel parameter setting
To specify the linkage of a board to a channel, four different ways are provided to address a particular board:
- Index-addressing
- PCI-addressing
- Name-addressing
- Identifier-addressing
The board linkage mechanisms are similar to the board addressing mechanism available in the board object. Refer to Board Information.
Four parameters constitute the "board linkage" category of channel-class MultiCam parameters:
- DriverIndex (integer)
- PciPosition (integer)
- BoardName (string)
- BoardIdentifier (string)
To assign a board to a channel, a linkage parameter belonging to this channel has to be set with a valid value, using one of the four provided methods. After that assignment, the grabber associated to the channel is known as residing in the designated board.
Note. To assign a Picolo board to a channel, the first instruction following channel creation must set DriverIndex. Other mechanisms are not available in this release.
