Waiting for an IEEE 1394 Camera to be Attached

Detachment of a camera while it is in use can be handled by processing the resultant error.
Note: Any IMAQ1394 function will return error 0xBFF6801C if the camera has been detached.
The following program consists of two VIs:
1. Grab Until Detached-This VI polls the interface files until a camera is connected. When a camera is connected to the system, a Grab acquisition is started and carried out until the camera is disconnected from the system. At that point, the acquisition is stopped and the program exits.
2. Find Attached Camera-When called by the Grab Until Detached VI, this VI parses data from the interface files and reads the connected status bit in each one. When a high bit (1) is found, the corresponding interface name is returned by the VI.
Note: A camera must be configured in Measurement & Automation Explorer (MAX) prior to running this program. Configuration in MAX creates an interface file on the system, and this file is read by the program.
