Event for Contact Closure #4

Closed rfellers closed 8 years ago

rfellers commented 8 years ago

(Build 2.2.80) We would like to respond to contact closure events (from our LC) through the IAPI

dbaileychess commented 8 years ago

So when an external device sends a contact closure, you would like to receive that through the API?

rfellers commented 8 years ago

Ya, we'd like to start and stop our acquisition based on the contact closure. Please let me know if this is crazy talk ...

dbaileychess commented 8 years ago

If you are going to run a method, there is now an option to have it wait for contact closure, just like you would from Tune/Xcalibur. Will this suffice for now, or do you want a dedicated event?

rfellers commented 8 years ago

I'm not sure if that will work with our current code. We do everything through IScans.CreateCustomScan() as each scan could potentially be unique. Is it possible to wrap that in a method?

dbaileychess commented 8 years ago

I guess I misspoke above. Any acquisition, either by method or just time/scans/continuous, has the option to be started on a contact closure event.

I'll still explore if we can implement a dedicated event for it, as it may have other uses in the future.
