SmcWGetCounterMode

Function

The operation set up information of the counter is acquired.

Format

Ret = SmcWGetCounterMode( Id, AxisNo, ClearCntLtc, LtcMode, ClearCntClr, ClrMode )

Parameters

Id [ VB.NET: Short ] [ C, C++: short ] [ C#: short ] [ Python: ctypes.c_short ]
SSpecify the Deice ID retrieved by SmcWInit function.

AxisNo [ VB.NET: Short ] [ C, C++: short ] [ C#: short ] [ Python: ctypes.c_short ]
Specify the axis number.

ClearCntLtc [ VB.NET: Short ] [ C, C++: short * ] [ C#: out short ] [ Python: ctypes.POINTER(ctypes.c_short) ]
Specify the address of a variable to store the type of counter you want to clear when the LTC signal changes from OFF to ON.

0	Do not clear the counter
1	Clear the output pulse counter
2	Clear the encoder counter
3	Clear the output pulse counter and encoder counter

LtcMode [ VB.NET: Short ] [ C, C++: short * ] [ C#: out short ] [ Python: ctypes.POINTER(ctypes.c_short) ]
Specify the address of a variable to store the type of counter you want to latch when the LTC signal comes in.

0	Do not use latch function
1	Latch the output pulse counter
2	Latch the encoder counter
3	Latch the output pulse counter and encoder counter

ClearCntClr [ VB.NET: Short ] [ C, C++: short * ] [ C#: out short ] [ Python: ctypes.POINTER(ctypes.c_short) ]
Specify the address of a variable to store the type of counter you want to clear when the CLR signal changes from OFF to ON.

0	Do not clear the counter
1	Clear the output pulse counter
2	Clear the encoder counter
3	Clear the output pulse counter and encoder counter

ClrMode (Reserved) [ VB.NET: Short ] [ C, C++: short * ] [ C#: out short ] [ Python: ctypes.POINTER(ctypes.c_short) ]
0 fixed.

Return Value

Ret [ VB.NET: Integer ] [ C, C++: long ] [ C#: int ] [ Python: ctypes.c_long ]

0	Terminated normally
Non-zero	Terminated abnormally

Initial Value

ClearCntLtc	0H : Do not clear
LtcMode	0H : Do not use
ClearCntClr	0H : Do not clear
ClrMode	0 fixed

Remarks

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

Example

The set up information of the encoder counter of axis number 1 is acquired.

VB.NET
Dim Ret As Integer
Dim ClearCntLtc As Short
Dim LtcMode As Short
Dim ClearCntClr As Short
Dim ClrMode As Short
Ret = SmcWGetCounterMode( Id , 1, ClearCntLtc , LtcMode , ClearCntClr , ClrMode )

C, C++
long Ret;
short ClearCntLtc;
short LtcMode;
short ClearCntClr;
short ClrMode;
Ret = SmcWGetCounterMode( Id , 1, &ClearCntLtc , &LtcMode , &ClearCntClr , &ClrMode );

C#
int Ret;
short ClearCntLtc;
short LtcMode;
short ClearCntClr;
short ClrMode;
Ret = Smc.WGetCounterMode( Id , 1, out ClearCntLtc , out LtcMode , out ClearCntClr , out ClrMode );

Python
Ret = ctypes.c_long()
ClearCntLtc = ctypes.c_short()
LtcMode = ctypes.c_short()
ClearCntClr = ctypes.c_short()
ClrMode = ctypes.c_short()
Ret.value = csmc.SmcWGetCounterMode( Id , 1, ctypes.byref(ClearCntLtc) , ctypes.byref(LtcMode) , ctypes.byref(ClearCntClr) , ctypes.byref(ClrMode) )
