Adding, Updating, and Deleting System Objects

System objects are added, updated, and deleted by the following commands:

1. CORE||CREATE_OBJECT – creates a new object.
2. CORE||UPDATE_OBJECT – updates an existing object or creates a new one.
3. CORE||DELETE_OBJECT – deletes an object.

Adding and Deleting a Video Capture Card

If an object is not present in the system, add that object with the UPDATE_OBJECT command (the system must not have an object with a type and ID equal to objtype and objid, respectively).

CORE||UPDATE_OBJECT|objtype<GRABBER>,objid<12>,core_global<0>,parent_id<SLAVAXP>,name<Frame grabber 1>,params<5>,param0_name<format>,param0_val<NTSC>,param1_name<mode>,param1_val<1>,param2_name<chan>,param2_val<2>,param3_name<type>,param3_val<FX 4>,param4_name<resolution>,param4_val<0>

Having received the following message, the system changes the name of an existing object:

 CORE||UPDATE_OBJECT|objtype<GRABBER>,objid<12>,core_global<0>,parent_id<SLAVAXP>,name<Card 2>

To delete an object and all of its child objects, use the DELETE_OBJECT command:

CORE||DELETE_OBJECT|objtype<GRABBER>,objid<12>
