sequence acquisition.
Figure 3-1. NI-IMAQ Status Signals
You can use the NI-IMAQ status signals for many purposes. Pulses can be
generated based on the assertion of any of these signals. This allows you to
generate specific timing pulses based on acquisitions to control other
aspects of your system, such as a strobe light. Furthermore, you can
configure callback functions that are invoked based on any of these signals.
For example, you may want to initiate an image processing routine as soon
as an image is in memory. You can configure a callback containing image
processing code to be invoked when Buffer Complete is asserted.

Introductory Programming Examples
This section introduces some examples for performing the different types
of image acquisition. The error codes that NI-IMAQ returns are not
included in the examples. In your programs, always check the return code
for errors.
