Setting ChannelState to READY

On setting the ChannelState parameter to READY, MultiCam associates the required grabber resources to the channel.

ChannelState changes to READY if all required grabber resources are available. Otherwise, ChannelState remains ORPHAN. This action takes a short time to complete. By simply reading back ChannelState, the application is informed of the success or failure of the setting.

As long as ChannelState remains ORPHAN, the application can retry, as many times as necessary, to set ChannelState to READY.

This command implicitly selects the manual switching mechanism for this channel.
