SINGLE_AXIS.MY_STAGE
7.4.2 Description
This example opens a TCP connection, kills the single axis group, then initializes and
homes the group. The program then configures the parameters for the gathering (data to
be collected: setpoint and current position). It then defines an action (GatheringRun) to
an event (SGamma.MotionStart). When the positioner moves from 0 to 50, the data is
gathered (with a divisor equal to 100, data is collected every 100
th
servo cycle, or every
10 ms). At the end, the gathering is stopped and saved in a text file (Gathering.dat in
Admin/Public directory of the controller). Finally, the program ends by closing the
socket.

# Set channel’s name to be used for telnet.
# In this example we assume it is passed to the script as the
# first argument, if not specified output to stdio.
# Open the channel for read mode and get its id,
# this is the id that will be passed to puts function.
