Syntax

INT is_BootBoost (HIDS hCam, UINT nCommand, void* pParam, UINT cbSizeOfParam)

Description

The function is_BootBoost() opens the camera at the system start and allows a faster access to the camera in the running application (see boot boost).

Hinweis

Note: The change of the camera ID only has an effect on the boot boost mode after reconnecting the camera.

The nCommand input parameter is used to select the function mode. The pParam input parameter depends on the selected function mode. If you select functions for setting or returning a value, pParam contains a pointer to a variable of the UINT type. The size of the memory area to which pParam refers is specified in the cbSizeOfParam input parameter.

Input parameter

hCam

Camera handle

IS_BOOTBOOST_CMD_ENABLE

Enables the boot boost mode (Example 1)

IS_BOOTBOOST_CMD_DISABLE

Disables the boot boost mode (Example 1)

IS_BOOTBOOST_CMD_GET_ENABLED

Returns if the boot boost mode is enabled or disabled (Example 1)

IS_BOOTBOOST_CMD_ADD_ID

Adds an ID to the boot boost list (Example 2)

IS_BOOTBOOST_CMD_REMOVE_ID

Deletes an ID from the boot boost list (Example 2)

IS_BOOTBOOST_CMD_SET_IDLIST

Resets the complete boot boost list. Old entries are deleted (Example 3)

IS_BOOTBOOST_CMD_CLEAR_IDLIST

Deletes the boot boost list (Example 3)

IS_BOOTBOOST_CMD_GET_IDLIST_SIZE

Returns the size of the boot boost list (Example 4)

IS_BOOTBOOST_CMD_GET_IDLIST

Returns the boot boost list (Example 4)

pParam

Pointer to a function parameter, whose function depends on nCommand.

cbSizeOfParam

Size (in bytes) of the memory area to which pParam refers.

Contents of the IS_BOOTBOOST_ID structure

IS_BOOTBOOST_ID_MIN

Smallest valid ID (1)

IS_BOOTBOOST_ID_MAX

Biggest valid ID (254)

IS_BOOTBOOST_ID_NONE

Special value for no ID (0)

IS_BOOTBOOST_ID_ALL

Special value for all IDs (255)

Contents of the IS_BOOTBOOST_IDLIST structure

DWORD

u32NumberOfEntries

Number of listed objects

IS_BOOTBOOST

aList

List information

Return values

IS_INVALID_PARAMETER

One of the submitted parameters is outside the valid range or is not supported for this sensor or is not available in this mode.

IS_IO_REQUEST_FAILED

An IO request from the uEye driver failed. Possibly the versions of the ueye_api.dll (API) and the driver file (ueye_usb.sys or ueye_eth.sys) do not match.

IS_NO_SUCCESS

General error message

IS_NOT_SUPPORTED

The camera model used here does not support this function or setting.

IS_SUCCESS

Function executed successfully

Example 1

INT nRet = IS_SUCCESS;

 

// Enable Boot-Boost mode

nRet = is_BootBoost(NULL, IS_BOOTBOOST_CMD_ENABLE, NULL, 0);

 

// Disable Boot-Boost mode

nRet = is_BootBoost(NULL, IS_BOOTBOOST_CMD_DISABLE, NULL, 0);

 

UINT u32Enable = 0;

nRet = is_BootBoost(NULL, IS_BOOTBOOST_CMD_GET_ENABLED, (void*)&u32Enable, sizeof(u32Enable));

if (nRet == IS_SUCCESS)

{

  if (u32Enable != 0)

  {

      // Boot-Boost is enabled

  }

}

Example 2

INT nRet = IS_SUCCESS;

IS_BOOTBOOST_ID nBootboostValue = 0;

 

// Add camera ID 5

nBootboostValue = 5;

nRet = is_BootBoost(NULL, IS_BOOTBOOST_CMD_ADD_ID, (void*)&nBootboostValue, sizeof(nBootboostValue));

 

// Remove camera ID 5

nBootboostValue = 5;

nRet = is_BootBoost(NULL, IS_BOOTBOOST_CMD_REMOVE_ID, (void*)&nBootboostValue, sizeof(nBootboostValue));

 

// Set all camera IDs (1 - 254)

nBootboostValue = IS_BOOTBOOST_ID_ALL;

nRet = is_BootBoost(NULL, IS_BOOTBOOST_CMD_ADD_ID, (void*)&nBootboostValue, sizeof(nBootboostValue));

Example 3

INT nRet = IS_SUCCESS;

 

// The list has 3 entries

UINT nNumber = 3;

 

// Calculate the correct size in bytes of the Boot-Boost list

UINT nSize = sizeof(IS_BOOTBOOST_IDLIST) + ((nNumber - 1) * sizeof(IS_BOOTBOOST_ID));

 

// This line is equivalent

nSize = IS_BOOTBOOST_IDLIST_HEADERSIZE + (nNumber * IS_BOOTBOOST_IDLIST_ELEMENTSIZE);

 

IS_BOOTBOOST_IDLIST *pBootBoostList = (IS_BOOTBOOST_IDLIST*)new BYTE[nSize];

 

// Add the IDs 1, 2 and 3

pBootBoostList->aList[0] = 1;

pBootBoostList->aList[1] = 2;

pBootBoostList->aList[2] = 3;

 

// Set the list

INT nRet = is_BootBoost(NULL, IS_BOOTBOOST_CMD_SET_IDLIST, (void*)pBootBoostList, nSize);

 

delete [] pBootBoostList;

pBootBoostList = NULL;

 

// Clear the list

nRet = is_BootBoost(NULL, IS_BOOTBOOST_CMD_CLEAR_IDLIST, NULL, 0);

Example 4

INT nRet = IS_SUCCESS;

 

// Get the size of the Boot-Boost list

UINT nNumber = 0;

nRet = is_BootBoost(NULL, IS_BOOTBOOST_CMD_GET_IDLIST_SIZE, (void*)&nNumber, sizeof(nNumber));

if ((nNumber > 0) && (nRet == IS_SUCCESS))

{

  // Calculate the correct size in bytes of the Boot-Boost list

  UINT nSize = sizeof(IS_BOOTBOOST_IDLIST) + ((nNumber - 1) * sizeof(IS_BOOTBOOST_ID));

 

  // This line is equivalent

  nSize = IS_BOOTBOOST_IDLIST_HEADERSIZE + (nNumber * IS_BOOTBOOST_IDLIST_ELEMENTSIZE);

 

  IS_BOOTBOOST_IDLIST *pBootBoostList = (IS_BOOTBOOST_IDLIST*)new BYTE[nSize];

 

  // Get the list

  nRet = is_BootBoost(NULL, IS_BOOTBOOST_CMD_GET_IDLIST, (void*)m_pBootBoostList, nSize);
