PSO Fixed Distance Event Window Mask Pulse Output
Demonstrates generating a sequence of pulses each time the axis moves a fixed distance, but only when within the specified window range.
// PSO Fixed Distance Event Window Mask Pulse Output Example: // Demonstrates generating a sequence of pulses each time the axis moves a fixed distance, but only when within the specified window range. // To help you visualize the behavior of the PSO output generated by this configuration, the pulse times used in this program are // longer than would be typical and this program triggers data collection. You can use the Data Visualizer to collect the // "OutputActive" bit of the "Pso Status" signal and the Position Feedback signal. To see the complete output from this program, // you must collect data at a period of 1 msec and a time to collect of at least 5000 msec. program var $axis as axis = X var $windowNumber as integer = 0 // Set absolute mode.
