mpiControlInit / meiControlInit

Declaration: mpiControlInit

long mpiControlInit(MPIControl   control)

Description

mpiControlInit initializes the control object. ControlInit must be called after mpiControlCreate(...) and before any other MPI calls in your application. ControlInit establishes communication with the motion controller hardware and initializes any SynqNet networks connected to the controller. Controller communication can occur through direct memory access, device driver, or remote via client/server.

Sample Code

MPIControl   control; /* motion controller object handle */ 

long         result; 

control =
   mpiControlCreate(MPIControlTypeDEFAULT, NULL);
result = 
   mpiControlValidate(control); 
msgCHECK(result); 

/* Initialize motion controller */
returnValue =
   mpiControlInit(control); 
msgCHECK(result);

Declaration: meiControlInit

long meiControlInit(MPIControl   control
                    const  char  *mpiVersion)

Description

meiControlInit initializes the Control object. ControlInit must be called after mpiControlCreate(...) and before any other MPI calls in your application. ControlInit establishes communication with the motion controller hardware. Unlike mpiControlInit(...), it does NOT initialize any SynqNet networks connected to the controller. Controller communication can occur through direct memory access, device driver, or remote via client/server.

Sample Code

MPIControl   control; /* motion controller object handle */ 

long         result; 

control =
   mpiControlCreate(MPIControlTypeDEFAULT, NULL);
result = 
   mpiControlValidate(control); 
msgCHECK(result); 

/* Initialize motion controller, but not SynqNet */ 
returnValue =
   meiControlInit(control, MPI_INTERFACE_VERSION); 
msgCHECK(result);
