Name
PositionerCompensatedFastPCOFromFile – Reads firing positions from a data file to
controller’s memory.
Input tests
- Refer to section 7.1: “Input Tests Common to all XPS Functions”.
- Checks the positioner name: (-18)
- Checks if CIEFAST compensated PCO pulses generation is enabled: (-121)
Description
This function reads firing positions from a data file to the controller’s memory.
The data file contains lines of data, formatted as follows:
Position
i
Example:
Position
1
Position
2
… …
Position
N
Data conditions:
Position
i
>Position
i
-1, Width
i
<Position
i
+1 - Position
i
.
NOTE
Position
i
(i = 1…N) are the offset values relative to the scanning positioner start
position that is defined in the PositionerCompensatedFastPCOPrepare().
Prototype

int SocketID,
char * PositionerName,
char * DataFileName
)
Input parameters
SocketID int Socket identifier gets by the
“TCP_ConnectToServer” function.
PositionerName char * Positioner name.
DataFileName char * Data file name.
