:Load and trigger a point to point motion using a control Gate.

This sample program demonstrates how to use the motion HOLD attribute and
 a control Gate, to pre-load a single axis trapezoidal profile motion.

The XMP-Series controller supports a motion HOLD attribute, which is useful
 for pre-loading and triggering motion profiles.  One or more motion supervisors
 can be started from the same HOLD conditions.  When multiple motion supervisors
 are triggered by the same HOLD conditions, the individual motion profiles will
 start in the same DSP sample period.  The HOLD can be set/cleared with a host
 function call, an XMP-Series controller internal variable or a Motor I/O
 state change.

The MPIMotionAttrHold{...} structure is used to configure the HOLD conditions:

 typedef    struct MPIMotionAttrHold {
    MPIMotionAttrHoldType   type;
    MPIMotionAttrHoldSource source;

    float   timeout;
} MPIMotionAttrHold;


The HOLD "type" can be one of the following:

 MPIMotionHoldTypeGATE - host software controlled.
 MPIMotionHoldTypeINPUT - XMP controller internal variable.
 MPIMotionHoldTypeMOTOR - XMP controller motor I/O state change.


For each HOLD "type" the "source" union, MPIMotionAttrHoldSource{...},
 configures the HOLD conditions:

 MPIMotionHoldTypeGATE:

  long gate - number between 0 to 31.

  The motion is held until the "gate" is cleared.  The function
  mpiControlGateSet(...) is used to set/clear a gate.  When the closed
  parameter is TRUE, the gate is set, and motion is held.  When the
  closed parameter is FALSE, the gate is cleared, and motion starts.

 MPIMotionHoldTypeINPUT

  long *input - address of XMP memory location.
  long mask - bit mask, bitwise ANDed with the input value.
  long pattern - HOLD is released when masked value matches pattern.

  The motion is held until the value of the internal XMP memory location
  (pointed to by *input) bitwise ANDed with the mask matches the pattern.

 MPIMotionHoldTypeMOTOR

  long number - motor "n", XMP's dedicated inputs (Motor[n].IO.DedicaedIN.IO)
  long mask - bit mask, bitwise ANDed with the dedicated inputs.
  long pattern - HOLD is released when masked inputs matches pattern.

  The motion is held until the value of the dedicated input word
  (Motor[n].IO.DedicaedIN.IO) bitwise ANDed with the mask matches the
  pattern.


The HOLD "timeout" will cause the motion to start after the specified period
 (in seconds) even if the hold criteria have not been met.  To disable the
 timeout feature, set the timeout value to zero.

The MPI expects an array of hold attributes specifying separate attributes
 form each axis of a motion supervisor. All axes holding with the same hold
 attributes (same gate, same input, mask, and pattern) will start motion in
 the same sample even if the moves are specified using different motion
 supervisors.

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.
