About NxLib API

The entire NxLib API is based on a tree structure, holding the state of the current instance and all connected cameras. There are basic access functions to modify the tree items, as well as an object oriented C++ interface building on top of these accessor functions.

• All functionality contained within NxLib is based on simply reading and writing elements of the tree.

• Parameters of connected cameras or NxLib itself are simply represented as named nodes in the tree, holding their corresponding values.

• The Execute node of the tree allows you to instruct NxLib to carry out certain commands.

Note
