Is there CODE that an APP can use to learn whether the CAPTURE TOOL is running in SIMULATION MODE or whether it is communicating with a REAL CAMERA?
Thanks.

The active camera is set to the one which is selected in the UI. Here is some code which will determine whether a real camera, simulation, or no camera is the active camera. No camera is the case when there is no real camera attached and the simulation is turned off.
This code requires a reference to MediaCy.IQL.Capture.Manager.
Imports MediaCy.IQL.Capture.Manager Public Module Module1 Function IsCameraSimulation(Optional ByRef noCamera As Boolean = False) As Boolean Dim captObj As IMcCaptureManagerDevice2 With Capture.CaptureCommands.GetDeviceObject(Nothing) .Run() captObj = .Output.Value End With If captObj Is Nothing Then noCamera = True If captObj IsNot Nothing AndAlso captObj.Information.DeviceName.Contains("Capture Simulation") Then Return True Return False End Function Sub WhichCamera() Dim cameraSim As Boolean = False Dim cameraNone As Boolean = False cameraSim = IsCameraSimulation(cameraNone) ThisApplication.Output.Show() If cameraSim Then ThisApplication.Output.PrintMessage("Capture Simulation is the active camera") ElseIf cameraNone Then ThisApplication.Output.PrintMessage("There is no currently active camera") Else ThisApplication.Output.PrintMessage("There is a real camera active") End If End Sub End Module
