AT_ERRCOUNT ACCUAPI IG_ISIS_drv_run_zone( HISISDRVRUN hRun ); |
Name | Type | Description |
---|---|---|
hRun | HISISDRVRUN | The handle of the "run" (zone data structure) being processed. This handle is initialized by the IG_ISIS_drv_run_start function that invoked the pipe. |
Returns the number of ImageGear errors that occurred during this function call. If there are no errors, the return value is IGE_SUCCESS.
Depends on the scanner driver.
See IG_ISIS_drv_run_start examples.
IG_ISIS_drv_run_zone (not to be confused with the IG_ISIS_run_zone function) returns a pointer to the current run handle that was initialized by IG_ISIS_drv_run_start. This allows you to use IG_ISIS_tag_set... functions to set output parameters when the ISIS pipe's head (first) driver is not a data generator.
For example, when the head driver is a compression driver and you need to set image width, you would use the IG_ISIS_drv_run_zone function to get the run handle.
Call IG_ISIS_drv_run_zone after calling IG_ISIS_drv_run_start and before calling IG_ISIS_drv_run_step. IG_ISIS_drv_run_zone gives you the run handle which you can then pass as a parameter in one or more IG_ISIS_tag_set... functions to set as many parameters as needed. After setting all necessary parameters, loop on IG_ISIS_drv_run_step until all data is transferred (as indicated by IG_ISIS_drv_run_step returning IG_ISIS_ERR_ENDZONE).
The IG_ISIS_drv_run_zone function is one of four functions that when used together invoke an ISIS pipe. Invoking a pipe starts a scanning, reading, writing, compression, or other operation as defined by the drivers linked in the pipe. IG_ISIS_drv_run_zonereturns a pointer to the current run zone handle that was initialized by the related IG_ISIS_drv_run_start function.
