Topology

The Cable<X,Y>Topology parameter is an expert-level board object parameter in the board information category. It declares the signal sets of camera cable.

Parameter CableXTopology declares the signals used by the camera(s) attached on board connector CAM_X; it is available on all Domino boards.

Parameter CableYTopology declares the signals used by the camera(s) attached on board connector CAM_Y; it is available on Domino Alpha 2.

The application MUST declare the cameras signals sets for all connectors where the BoardTopology allows the connection of 2 cameras. For connectors where the BoardTopology allows only 1 camera, the application is NOT required to set this parameter.

The following order to define the setup is mandatory:

  1. Define BoardTopology. This parameter sets Cable<X,Y>Topology to default values. With simple topology, it gives 0. If split cable is available, it gives 100000.
  2. Define Cable<X,Y>Topology.
  3. Create any MultiCam Channel on the corresponding connector.
    For connectors with Primary camera only: Cable<X,Y>Topology value must exactly match the value of CameraSignalSet.
    For connectors with two cameras, Cable<X,Y>Topology is composed of six digits:
    • the three rightmost digits must exactly match the value of CameraSignalSet of the primary camera.
    • the three leftmost digits must exactly match the value of CameraSignalSet of the secondary camera.

All possible values are listed in the Cable<X,Y>Topology parameter definition
