FileAccess_Quickspin.cpp

FileAccess_Quickspin.cpp shows how to read and write images using camera File Access function.

FileAccess_Quickspin.cpp shows how to read and write images using camera File Access function.This example uploads an image to the camera File Access storage and also download the image from the camera File Access storage and saves it to the disk. It also provides debug message when debug mode is turned on giving more detail status of the progress and error messages to the users.

It relies on information provided in the Enumeration, Acquisition, and NodeMapInfo examples.
