Syntax
INT is_WaitForNextImage(HIDS hCam, UINT timeout, char** ppcMem, INT* imageID)
Description
is_WaitForNextImage() returns the pointer and sequence ID of the first (i.e. oldest) image in a memory
sequence. The queue mode has to be enabled for the memory sequence (see is_InitImageQueue() ). If the
sequence does not contain images, is_WaitForNextImage() waits until a new image arrives or until the
specified time has elapsed.
Note
Note that also image capture errors are added to the ImageQueue like images. If a call of
is_WaitForNextImage() returns the IS_CAPTURE_STATUS return value then you can check by a new call of
the function, if any further images were enqueued into the ImageQueue after the error.
Attention
Image memories in a sequence with queue mode are automatically locked. The image memories will have to be
unlocked with is_UnlockSeqBuf() in order to be re-used in the sequence.
Input parameters
hCam
Camera handle
timeout
Timeout in ms. Range 0…2
32
-1
If no images are in the sequence and no image arrives during the timeout, the
function returns IS_TIMED_OUT.
ppcMem
Pointer to a variable which will receive the address of the last image in the
sequence.
imageID
Pointer to a variable which will receive the sequence ID of the oldest image in
the sequence.
