The default MultiCam table is specified with the FC_InitCamParameter function.

The new cam signal also provides feedback. The axis will reset the signal to false at the start of the next cycle if the new cam points are accepted. The FC_GetInstantNewCamStatus function can be used to retrieve the status of the new cam signal.

This function may not be called cyclic, because during every call the New Cam is set.
