Frames
CEBO-LC has various sources and sinks of data. Besides the analog inputs and outputs there are digital
signals and counter values.
One way to access them individually, would be to assign a unique address to each. Then, communication
between the host and CEBO-LC would have some significant overhead to transmit and decode address data.
This is why data flow to and from CEBO-LC is organized in blocks of data. They have known sizes and
structures and are called "frames".
Depending on the transmission direction, there are InputFrames and OutputFrames. An InputFrame
contains the results of data acquisition, while an OutputFrame contains data that is sent to outputs or
internal registers like counters.
Before you can use a frame, you have to define it by using the methods setupInputFrame respectively
setupOutputFrame.
After setting values in an OutputFrame and before reading values from an InputFrame, you must actively
communicate with the device to send or receive the frame(s).
