IMAQdxConfigureAcquisition

Format

rval = IMAQdxConfigureAcquisition (IMAQdxSession id, unsigned int continuous, unsigned int bufferCount)

Purpose

Configures a low-level acquisition previously opened with IMAQdxOpenCamera. Specify the acquisition type using the continuous and bufferCount parameters.

Snap	Continuous = 0	Buffer Count = 1
Sequence	Continuous = 0	Buffer Count > 1
Grab	Continuous = 1	Buffer Count ³ 1

Use IMAQdxUnconfigureAcquisition to unconfigure the acquisition.

Parameters

Parameter	Type	Description
id	IMAQdxSession	A valid Session ID, which you can obtain using IMAQdxOpenCamera.
continuous	unsigned int	Specifies whether the acquisition is continuous or one-shot.
bufferCount	unsigned int	For a one-shot acquisition, this parameter specifies the number of images to acquire. For a continuous acquisition, this parameter specifies the number of buffers the driver uses internally.

Return Value

On success, this function returns IMAQdxErrorSuccess. On failure, this function returns an error code. You can obtain a more detailed error message with IMAQdxGetErrorString or, if you are using Microsoft Visual Basic, IMAQdxGetErrorStringCW.
