Service: Device Operation

This API is officially released and maintained.

This service is used for starting and stopping the device operation. Normally, the device is started and stopped based on the client connections. If there is a client using the Qb2, the device will start and stay in operation until all clients disconnected. The start function of this service overrides this behaviour, i.e. when started using the start function the device will stay operational even though no clients are connected. This allows a faster retrieval of frames once a client connects as the startup phase is skipped.
