Backplane communications for DMIL remote systems



When using a Matrox Supersight SHB board, you can allocate a DMIL system that uses the PCIe backplane to communicate between the frame-grabber, processing FPGA, GPU, and other Matrox Supersight SHB boards installed in the unit. Note that, to allocate a DMIL remote system on Matrox Supersight SHB board, you must install MIL on the hard disk connected to your Matrox Supersight SHB board.

To allocate a remote system, the SystemDescriptor parameter of MsysAlloc() must specify the type of system to allocate, as well as identify the location of the target SHB in your Matrox Supersight unit. The full syntax for the SystemDescriptor parameter is as follows:

"dmilpcie://RemoteComputerName/MILSystemType"

where RemoteComputerIdentifier should be replaced with the name of your target Matrox Supersight SHB installed in the same Matrox Supersight unit.

The MILSystemType should be either M_SYSTEM_HOST or the system type of the frame grabber, GPU, or processing FPGA board installed in the same Matrox Supersight unit.

The "://" and "/" are required separators.
