Accessing a Collection Element

Some MultiCam parameters exist as a collection. This applies to any parameter type.

Accessing a Collection Element by Identifier

In this case, the parameter reference is established with an integer identifier defined in the MultiCam McParams.h header file.

The first element of the collection is referred to with this identifier just like a non-collection parameter. The following elements are referred to with consecutive integer values starting from the identifier value.

Accessing a Collection Element by Name

In this case, the name allowing access to the collection element is the concatenation of the following items:

Parameter name
Colon (:)
Zero-based index of the collection element.

Example: accessing the elements of the collection parameter Cluster

Collection element	By-identifier access	By-name access
First element	MC_Cluster	Cluster
First element, alternative	MC_Cluster + 0	Cluster:0
Second element	MC_Cluster + 1	Cluster:1
Third element	MC_Cluster + 2	Cluster:2
