Hi Tom,

 

Is there a way to tell, either from the .NET api, the console, or a DSP C program, whether the G4 command is currently active?  I would like to have an indicator that shows if the controller is “dwelling”.  

 

Thanks,

 

Toby

Hi Toby,

I can't think of a good way to do that.  There is an internal Flag called: m_DwellDownloaded

See:

int CCoordMotion::Dwell(double seconds)


A Dwell is implemented as a coordinated movement from the current position to the current position with a parametric 3rd order polynomial with all coefficients exactly zero.  So I suppose a DSP program could check the current coordinated motion segment and if it has a polynomial with all zeros then it must be a dwell.  In KFLOP CoordSystem0 is a pointer to the current PARAMETRIC_COEFF Structure.
