EnumerationEvents.cpp

EnumerationEvents.cpp explores arrival and removal events on interfaces and the system. It relies on information provided in the Enumeration, Acquisition, and NodeMapInfo examples.

It can also be helpful to familiarize yourself with the NodeMapCallback example, as nodemap callbacks follow the same general procedure as events, but with a few less steps.

This example creates two user-defined classes: InterfaceEventHandlerImpl and SystemEventHandlerImpl. These child classes allow the user to define properties, parameters, and the event itself while the parent classes - DeviceArrivalEventHandler, DeviceRemovalEventHandler, and InterfaceEventHandler - allow the child classes to interface with Spinnaker.
