Addressing a Board

The MultiCam driver is capable of multiple grabbers servicing. This means that there can be more than one MultiCam compliant frame grabber board in the host computer running under the MultiCam environment.

The board object encompasses a set of parameters aimed at controlling and describing the full set of features associated to these several boards.

Each board is described by a set of similar parameters. In order to specifically reach the parameters concerning a pointed board, the board object features a board addressing mechanism.

Four different ways are provided to address a particular board:

The board-class parameters constituting the "Board Information" category are similar to the board addressing mechanism available in the channel class. However, as board-class parameters, they can only get information.

The number of boards recognized by the MultiCam driver can be returned through the configuration-object BoardCount parameter.
