9.3.1 Properties
9.3.1.1 AppInfo
AppInfo is a two-dimensional array of integer packaged as a Variant. The leftmost dimension is 0
to 31 and the rightmost is 0 to 2. This array contains information about LBA-PC applications that
are running and available for ActiveX connection. AppInfo is used to decide which application to
connect to and which index to send to the OpenIndex method.
The array is formatted as follows:
[][0] = Application type
[][1] = Model Number
[][2] = Serial Number
Application type will contain 1 for LBA-PC with a framegrabber or 2 for LBA-PC connected to a
Pyrocam III. Other Spiricon software products have other numbers, but the LBA-PC ActiveX
server will only find LBA-PC applications.
Model Number will contain the framegrabber model number for LBA-PC connected to a
framegrabber, or 0 for LBA-PC connected to Pyrocam III.
Serial Number will contain the serial number of the framegrabber or Pyrocam III respectively.
Not all array rows will contain application information. If the Application type is 0 then that row
does not contain application information. Row 0 will never contain application information.
Application indices are fixed at launch and remain until the application is closed. The first LBA-PC
gets index 1, the second gets index 2, etc. When an application is closed the index is released.
If you close application 1, then row 1 Application type will be set to 0, but row 2 through 31 will
still contain any previous application information.

This property indicates the status of the LBA-PC data collection. This property returns TRUE if
