Grab
The low-level grab examples demonstrate how to perform a grab
acquisition using low-level function calls. The program sets up a
continuous acquisition into three internal buffers and starts the acquisition.
The main loop iterates continuously. In the main processing loop, the
program acquires an image and processes it. After the loop, the program
stops the acquisition, unconfigures the acquisition, and closes the session.
