creating custom adaptors -凯发k8网页登录

use the image acquisition toolbox™ adaptor kit to create an adaptor

the adaptor kit is a c framework that you use to create an adaptor to support new hardware. the kit is not necessary to use image acquisition toolbox. use it only if you are writing a custom adaptor.

functions

	information about available image acquisition hardware
	create video input object
	disconnect and delete all image acquisition objects
	register third-party custom adaptor
