The CogJob class is the work unit of QuickBuild. It consists of an acquisition FIFO and a collection of vision tools.
Each CogJob is associated with a particular camera channel which feeds images to the vision tools for processing.

Syntax
The CogJob type exposes the following members.
Constructors
| Name | Description | |
|---|---|---|
 | CogJob |
Default CogJob constructor. The newly constructed CogJob has no name.
|
| CogJob(Boolean) |
CogJob constructor that also creates an empty CogToolGroup. The newly created CogJob can then be used with the CogJob edit control.
|
| CogJob(String) |
CogJob constructor with CogJob name.
|
Methods
| Name | Description | |
|---|---|---|
| CloneParameters |
CloneParamters. Internal use only.
|
| CopyParameters |
CopyParameters. Internal use only.
|
| CreateObjRef | Creates an object that contains all the relevant information required to generate a proxy used to communicate with a remote object. (Inherited from MarshalByRefObject.) |
| Equals | (Inherited from Object.) |
| GetHashCode | Serves as a hash function for a particular type. (Inherited from Object.) |
| GetLifetimeService | Retrieves the current lifetime service object that controls the lifetime policy for this instance. (Inherited from MarshalByRefObject.) |
| GetType | Gets the Type of the current instance. (Inherited from Object.) |
| Image |
Image() remvoes and returns the oldest image in the image queue. Image() will return null if the image queue is empty. Care must be taken to not remove images from the image queue if the CogJob is running image processing.
|
| Image(Int32, Boolean) |
Image(int,bool) allows any image to be looked at and/or removed from the image queue. Care must be taken to not remove images from the image queue if the CogJob is running image processing.
|
| ImageQueueFlush |
Flush/clear the image queue of all images. This method cannot be called while the CogJob is running.
|
| InitializeLifetimeService | Obtains a lifetime service object to control the lifetime policy for this instance. (Inherited from MarshalByRefObject.) |
| IOValidate |
This function detects all the possible I/O configuration errors and returns them in a string.
The user must call this routine after adding a new CogJob to the CogJobManager.
This routine enables all the I/O lines, if possible, that are used by this job.
|
| OnDeserialization |
Serialization Callback. Internal use only.
|
| Reset |
Reset puts the CogJob into its initial state.
|
| ResetAllStatistics |
Reset all statistics to their default states.
|
| RestartThroughputCalculation |
Restart the calculation of the throughput calculations.
|
| ResumeAndRaiseChangedEvent |
Re-enables raising of the Changed event after SuspendChangedEvent
has been called, and raises the Changed event if the
ChangedEventSuspended count is reduced to zero and any changes were
made while events were suspended. Must be called once for each call to
SuspendChangedEvent.
(Inherited from CogSerializableChangedEventBase.) |
| Run |
Run the CogJob just once. This Run method uses the RunMode of the CogJob determines which parts (acquisition and/or image processing) actually run.
|
| RunContinuous |
Run the CogJob in a continuous loop. The CogJob will not stop running until Stop() is called. This Run method uses the the RunMode of the CogJob determines which parts (acquisition and/or image processing) actually run.
|
| Shutdown |
Shutdown terminates all internal threads inside the CogJob. Shutdown also disposes of any contained acquisition fifo and vision tools. Shutdown must be called to allow the CogJob to cleanly terminate.
After the CogJob has shutdown, it cannot be run again. Do not persist (save) a shutdown CogJob, since it cannot be run again, even after de-persisting it.
|
| Stop |
Stop forces the CogJob to stop running. Only CogJobs running continuously can be stopped. This method returns immediately and does not wait for the CogJob to stop. Once the CogJob has completely stopped, the Stopped event will be fired.
If the CogJob is not running, this method has no effect.
|
| SuspendChangedEvent |
Temporarily suspends the raising of the Changed event. May be called
more than once, and a corresponding call to ResumeAndRaiseChangedEvent
must be made for each call to SuspendChangedEvent.
(Inherited from CogSerializableChangedEventBase.) |
| ToString | (Inherited from Object.) |
| VisionToolLink(Int32) |
Returns the stored CogVTLink object using a integer index.
|
| VisionToolLink(String) |
Returns the stored CogVTLink object using a link name.
|
| VisionToolLink(String, CogDestinationQueueConstants) |
Returns the stored CogVTLink object using a link name and its type.
|
| VisionToolLinkAdd |
Add a new CogVTLink object to the CogJob. A CogVTLink object represents either an input (an image) or output (results collection) to or from the CogJob.
|
| VisionToolLinkRemove(String) |
Remove a CogVTLink object by its link name.
|
| VisionToolLinkRemove(CogVTLink) |
Remove a CogVTLink object by its reference.
