Gathering with motion

7.4.1

Configuration

Group type
Single axis
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
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.

# Open the channel for read mode and get its id,
