Syntax
INT is_SetAllocatedImageMem (HIDS hCam,
INT width, INT height, INT bitspixel,
char* pcImgMem, int* pid)
Description
Using is_SetAllocatedImageMem(), you can make a memory allocated by a user the active
memory for storing digitised images in it. The allocated memory must be large enough (size >=
(width * height * bitspixel / 8)) and must always be locked globally (see below). You can
call the is_AddToSequence() function to add a memory which was set using
is_SetAllocatedImageMem() to a sequence.
Please make sure to proceed in the following order:
Allocate Memory: HANDLE hgMem = GlobalAlloc (size);
Lock memory: char* pcMem = (char*) GlobalLock (hgMem);
The address of this memory will be passed to the DCx camera driver. For this, you can use the
is_SetAllocatedImageMem() function. In addition, you need to specify the image size, just as you
do when calling is_AllocImageMem() . The returned memory ID is required by other functions for
memory access.
The memory area must be removed from the driver management again using the is_FreeImageMem
() function. Please note that this does not release the memory. You then need to make sure
that the memory will be released again:
Unlock memory: GlobalUnlock (hgMem);
Release Memory: is_FreeImageMem (hCam, pcMem, ID); GlobalFree (hgMem);
