All OEM application software communicates with the camera by means of the API as illustrated in Figure 4.
The user application, API and drivers all run on the host PC. The drivers communicate with the camera by the chosen
communications link (either serial or USB). The core API functions allow for:
Both single-threaded and multi-threaded programming models are supported and the camera may be accessed using either
synchronous (i.e., blocking) or asynchronous (i.e., non-blocking or overlapped) communications. Where asynchronous
communications are used, the application developer is responsible for coordinating tasks and access to the camera.
