Implementing the Acquisition Thread Function Test Procedure
8-7
Implementing the Acquisition Thread Function Test Procedure
As part of the Image Acquisition Toolbox Adaptor Kit, we now offer a test procedure and
automated tests for third-party adaptor developers and camera vendors to test adaptors
and hardware against the toolbox. This test procedure is part of that suite. For more
information, see “Testing Adaptors or Hardware” on page 8-2.
After implementing the acquisition thread function per instructions in “Implementing
the Acquisition Thread Function” in this Adaptor Kit documentation, follow these steps
to test the acquisition thread function.
Test Procedures Expected Results
Run the following commands:
vidObj = videoinput
('AdaptorName');
preview(vidObj)
A preview window should open and display
the acquired video. Verify that the video is
getting acquired as expected based on the
VideoFormat and VideoResolution. To
close the preview window, press the (x) button
or type closepreview at the command
prompt.
To clean up after this step, delete and clear
the object.
Run the following command:
vidObj = videoinput
('AdaptorName');
start(vidObj);
wait(vidObj)
vidObj.FramesAcquired
The commands should execute without any
error or warning. vidObj.FramesAcquired
will display the number of acquired frames,
which should be 10 unless the startup or
period between frames is lengthy.
To clean up after this step, delete and clear
the object.
