Pascal Definition

procedure dms_ArmCapture(NodeNumber:longint; AxisNumber:longint);

Description

Arm Capture is used to setup the system to record the axis position when a specified input occurs. Arm Capture resets the capture latches for the related axis. When Capture Has Tripped the Capture Position information is valid and can be used by the motion application. The hardware capture latches can record an event with the resolution of the encoder and provide additional precision over software capture methods.

Escapes

The Arm Capture command does not produce any escapes.

Note that the EscapeResult parameter must be preset to 0 before making the call or the routine will not run
