Example

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

VB.NET
Dim Ret As Integer
Dim EncType As Short
Ret = SmcWGetEncType( Id , 1, EncType )

C, C++
long Ret;
short EncType;
Ret = SmcWGetEncType( Id , 1, &EncType );

C#
int Ret;
short EncType;
Ret = Smc.WGetEncType( Id , 1, out EncType );

Python
Ret = ctypes.c_long()
EncType = ctypes.c_short()
Ret.value = csmc.SmcWGetEncType( Id , 1, ctypes.byref(EncType) )
