Examples

Windows Multi-Session Host Example

The multi-session host is a sample of how to use multiple CIGI sessions from an application. One session is used to moitor and print outgoing CIGI packets, while the other is used for incoming packets.

In addition, it illustrates the use of CIGI callback functions to process packets. This example is a console-based application, and will display the incoming and outgoing packets on the screen.

Running the Example

To run the DummyIG sample application from a command line, the following arguments are expceted.

HostDemo <ip address> <send port> <receive port>

Where the arguments are as follows:

ip address: The IP address of a CIGI image generator to connect to.
send port: The port number to use for sending packets to the CIGI image generator.
receive port: The port number to use for receiving pacekts from the CIGI image generator.
