Assigning a Board to a Channel
A physical board must be assigned to a channel instance. The board to channel assignment must be performed immediately after the channel creation before applying any other channel parameter setting
To specify the linkage of a board to a channel, four different ways are provided to address a particular board:
- Index-addressing
- PCI-addressing
- Name-addressing
- Identifier-addressing
The board linkage mechanisms are similar to the board addressing mechanism available in the board object. Refer to How to access board information.
Four parameters constitute the "board linkage" category of channel-class MultiCam parameters:
- DriverIndex (integer)
- PciPosition (integer)
- BoardName (string)
- BoardIdentifier (string)
To assign a board to a channel, a linkage parameter belonging to this channel has to be set with a valid value, using one of the four provided methods. After that assignment, the grabber associated to the channel is known as residing in the designated board.
Note. To assign a Picolo board to a channel, the first instruction following channel creation must set DriverIndex. Other mechanisms are not available in this release.
