Newport XPS - Positionerpositioncompareaquadbalwaysenable

XPS Unified Programmer’s Manual
7.2.1.268 PositionerPositionCompareAquadBAlwaysEnable
Name
PositionerPositionCompareAquadBAlwaysEnable – Enables the AquadB signal in
the always mode.
Input tests
- Refer to section 7.1: “Input Tests Common to all XPS Functions”.
- Checks the positioner type: (-8)
- Checks the position encoder (“AquadB” or “AnalogInterpolated”): (-24)
- Checks if the CIE board supports this function: (-115)
Description
This function enables the generation of AquadB output signals on the PCO connector
(the 2&3 or 4&5 pins) of the XPS controller cards. The “always” mode means that the
AquadB signal is generated all the time (not position windowed).
NOTE
This function can be used only with a position encoder. If there is no position
encoder then (-24) error is returned.
Prototype
int PositionerPositionCompareAquadBAlwaysEnable(
int SocketID,
char * FullPositionerName
)
Input parameters
SocketID int Socket identifier gets by the
“TCP_ConnectToServer” function.
FullPositionerName char * Positioner name.
Output parameters
None.
Return (In addition to the results of “Input Tests Common to all XPS
Functions”)
• 0: No error.
• -8: Wrong object type for this command.
• -24: Not available in this configuration (check hardware or configuration).
• -115: Function is not supported by current hardware.
