Syntax

 

 PXL_RETURN_CODE PxLSetCameraName (

 HANDLE hCamera,

 LPCSTR pCameraName );

 

Description


This function sets the name of the camera.  
 

  • hCamera is the camera handle.  This value is returned by PxLInitialize.


  • pCameraName is the string that holds the new name of the camera. 


Usage


 /* Make the request */

 PXL_RETURN_CODE rc = PxLSetCameraName(hCamera, “Bottom-left camera”);

 if (!API_SUCCESS(rc))
 {

   /* Error handling here */

 }

 

Comments, Restrictions and Limitations


The camera name can have up to 32 characters. 


The camera name resides in non-volatile memory and is valid from the time that it is set by the PxLSetCameraName function until another PxLSetCameraName command is executed, even if the unit is powered off.
 

Note: This function should not be used in a general day-to-day application as it causes the firmware in the camera to operate in a different mode.  It should only be used in a configuration application to (rarely) set the required camera name.
