Signal Identifier

The MultiCam signals are not named with a character string as parameters are.

In the body of C functions used to interact with the MultiCam system, they are referred to by a signal identifier defined in the header file MultiCam.h.

Throughout the documentation, the MultiCam signals are designated by a descriptive text.

Example: Surface Processing

The signal identifier is build from the descriptive text according to the following rules.

Example: MC_SIG_SURFACE_PROCESSING

The signal identifier is an integer value unambiguously designating the signal.

The MultiCam signals have the MultiCam-defined type MCSIGNAL.
