SmcWGetPulseType

Function

Retrieves the settings of output mode of pulse.

Format

Ret = SmcWGetPulseType( Id, AxisNo, PulseMode, DirTimer )

Parameters

Id [ C, C++: short ] [ Python: ctypes.c_short ]

Specify the device ID retrieved by SmcWInit function.

AxisNo [ C, C++: short ] [ Python: ctypes.c_short ]

Specify the axis number.

PulseMode [ C, C++: short * ] [ Python: ctypes.POINTER(ctypes.c_short) ]

Specify the address of a variable to store the output mode of pulse.

Pulse mode	(+)direction operates		(-)direction operates
	OUT output	DIR output	OUT output	DIR output
0
	Common pulse mode OUT:Negative logic, CDIR+:High, CDIR-:Low
1
	Common pulse mode OUT:Positive logic, CDIR+:High, CDIR-:Low
2
	Common pulse mode OUT:Negative logic, CDIR+:Low, CDIR-:High
3
	Common pulse mode OUT:Positive logic, CDIR+:Low, CDIR-:High
4
	2-pulse mode :Negative logic
5
	2-pulse mode :Positive logic
6
	Phase difference mode OUT of 90 degrees: It is willingly signal. DIR: Delay signal
7
	Phase difference mode OUT of 90 degrees: Delay signal. DIR: It is willingly a signal

DirTimer [ C, C++: short * ] [ Python: ctypes.POINTER(ctypes.c_short) ]

Specify the address of a variable to store the value that indicates whether waiting (delay) or not.

0	OFF
1	ON

Return Value

Ret [ C, C++: long ] [ Python: ctypes.c_long ]

0	Terminated normally
Non-zero	Terminated abnormally

Initial Value

PulseMode	4 : 2-pulse mode : Negative logic
DirTimer	1 : ON

Remarks

This function can be executed even if the device is in operation.

Example

The set up information of the pulse output mode of axis number 1 is acquired.

C, C++

long Ret;

short PulseMode ;

short DirTimer ;

Ret = SmcWGetPulseType( Id , 1, &PulseMode , &DirTimer );

Python

Ret = ctypes.c_long()

PulseMode = ctypes.c_short()

DirTimer = ctypes.c_short()

Ret.value = csmc.SmcWGetPulseType( Id , 1, ctypes.byref(PulseMode) , ctypes.byref(DirTimer) )
