Sequence Grabber Component Functions

Working With Sequence Grabber Characteristics

The characteristics that govern a sequence grabber operation fall into two main categories: those that apply to the sequence grabber component, and those that apply to an individual channel that has been created for the sequence grabber. Sequence grabber components provide a number of functions in each category. This section describes the functions that allow you to configure the characteristics of the sequence grabber component. See "Working With Channel Characteristics" beginning on page 5-55 for information about functions that apply to a single channel.

Use the SGSetMaximumRecordTime function to limit the duration of a record operation. You can retrieve this time limit by calling the SGGetMaximumRecordTime function.

The SGSetFlags function allows you to set control flags that govern an operation.
Use the SGGetFlags function to retrieve those flags.

You can obtain information about the progress of a record operation by calling the SGGetStorageSpaceRemaining and SGGetTimeRemaining functions.

You can retrieve a reference to the time base used by a sequence grabber component by calling the SGGetTimeBase function.
