  • Page 12 The board order returned by ccFrameGrabber::get() is exactly the same as the board order returned by ccBoard::get(), except that ccBoard returns information for Cognex Security keys as well as frame grabbers (or other Cognex hardware), while ccFrameGrabber only returns information about frame grabbers.
  • Page 13 Preface • cc8504::get(index i) returns an object instance that corresponds to the MVS-8504, MVS-8514, MVS-8504e, or MVS -8514e frame grabber with the specified index. The order in which the frame grabbers are returned by this function is undefined. For a given set of boards installed in given slots in a given PC, the order will always be the same, but the particular order cannot be determined other than by comparing the serial number of the boards.
  • Page 14 Preface 8511 8511e 8514 8514e If multiple frame grabbers of different types are installed, then CogFrameGrabbers.Item will return them in the order listed above. If, for example, you have an MVS-8504e and an MVS-8514e installed, CogFrameGrabbers[0] will always return a reference to the MVS-8504e and CogFrameGrabbers[1] will always return a reference to the MVS-8514e.
  • Page 15 Preface If, for example, you have an existing PC with two MVS-8504 boards installed, CogFrameGrabber8504s.Item will always return the boards in the same order. If you replace one of the boards with an MVS-8514, the order in which the two boards will be returned is undefined.
