:Configure positive and negative hardware limit inputs.

A motor's positive and negative hardware limit inputs have four configurations:

  1) Event Action   (any MPIAction such as MPIActionE_STOP)
  2) Event Trigger  (a trigger polarity, active HIGH or LOW)
  3) Direction Flag (TRUE will cause the command direction of motion to
                        qualify the events, FALSE will ignore direction,
                        based solely on the limit input state)
  4) Duration       (requires the limit condition to exist for
                        a programmable number of seconds before an
                        event will occur)

Events are configured using MPIMotorEventConfigGet/Set(...).

Warning!  This is a sample program to assist in the integration of an
 MEI motion controller with your application.  It may not contain all
 of the logic and safety features that your application requires.

The msgCHECK(...) macros used in the following sample code are intended
 to convey our strong belief that ALL error return codes should be checked.
 Actual application code should use specific error handling techniques (other
 than msgCHECKs) best suited to your internal error recovery methods.
