Example Plug-ins

MERLIC provides example plug-ins that show different use cases. The examples are stored in the directory "examples\communicator_plugins" within the MERLIC installation directory. To work with the example plug-ins, you can use the compiled versions or adapt and compile them yourself. In any case you have to copy the respective library, e.g., pMVevent-logger.so or pMVevent-logger.dll into the directory in which the Communicator is executed, i.e., in the current working directory.

For more information on how to build a plug-in, see the topic Building an Example Plug-in in the reference documentation of the Communicator API.

For more information on how to use and configure a plug-in, see the topic Using a Plug-in for the Process Integration.

Requirements

The example plug-ins are implemented in C++ 17 so you have to make sure to use a compiler that supports this revision of C++.

Available Example Plug-ins

action-sender

This example plug-in can be used to send actions to MERLIC.

event-logger

This example plug-in launches a thread when the plug-in is started which repeatedly empties the event queue and prints log messages for each of the events and the associated event parameters.

This example plug-in can be used to save the image data contained in MVApp results to a configurable directory on disk.
