Name
SingleAxisSlaveModeEnable – Enables the slave-master mode.
Input tests
- Refer to section 7.1: “Input Tests Common to all XPS Functions”.
- Checks the group type (must be a SingleAxis group): (-8)
- Checks the positioner name: (-18)
- Checks the group name: (-19)
- Group state must be "READY”: (-22)
- Checks the slave parameters (must be configured): (-41)
Description
This function enables the master-slave mode only if the slave group is in "READY"
state. In this mode the slave must be defined as a SingleAxis group and the master can
be a positioner from any group.
To use this function, the SingleAxis group must be in the READY state. If it’s not the
case then (-22) error is returned.
To use this function, the master positioner and the slave ratio must be configured using
the “SingleAxisSlaveParametersSet” function. If it’s not the case then (-41) error is
returned.
