7. How does it work In multicast mode each Mamba receives all camera data output via the CAB Each Mamba determines the specific data it receives This is accomplished by creating a list of buffers of varying size Some are dummies while the remainder are regular buffers Note that dummy buffers are not allocated in Mamba memory The transfer object requires the dummy buffers to know how much data it flushes from the Cab The Mamba CPU performance is not affected during this process because no memory cycles are performed to Mamba memory during the transfer of dummy buffers Sapera CAB Programmer s Manual Appendix Dummy Buffer Type e 53 How it looks in user applications Example A linescan camera outputs images 2k x 12k two Mambas each processing part of the image On Mamba 1 Create the appropriate buffers CorBufferNew hPC 2k 3K CORBUFFER VAL FORMAT MONO8 CORBUFFER PRM TYPE SCATTER GATHER amp hBufferil Now create the dummy buffer to skip the next 9k lines CorBufferNew hPC 2k 9K CORBUFFER VAL FORMAT MONOS CORBUFFER PRM TYPE DUMMY amp hBuffer2 Now create the Xfer objet CorXferNew hPC hCab hBufferl pXferDesc amp hXfer Xfer to the real buffer CorXferAppend hPC hCab hBuffer2 pXferDesc Xfer to dummy buffer On Mamba 2 Decide on a different configuration for each Mamba Each Mamba is independant Create the appropriate buffers 2 real buffers and 3 dummies Skip the first 1k line
