Thorlabs BDC101

[Leeser]

Currently  using Thorlabs BDC101 dc servo motor controller. Using the apt software quite successfully. I am driving my translation stage over a set range. I need to know each time whether the device has been homed or not as I need absolute position. Currently, for each motion I "Home" the motor and then drive through the range. I cannot find any reference to determining the homed status of the motor eventhough in the ActiveX container a green led lights up when homed.

Any help, suggestions or otherwise greatly appreciated.

One last final trawl through the help notes on the apt software for the BDC101 and I found what I was looking for. So for everyone else out there....

in the low level method LLGetStatusBits

bit number 11 returns the homed status of the motor 1 for homed 0 for not homed

my apologies to anyone who has started digging to come to my aid...
