obtaining software limit enabled status

[daniel s]

hi

im controlling a pci-7344 through VB6 and flexmotion.
im enabling the software limits when a user has defined the travel range for a servo and then disabling them when they want to reset the range again.
when the program is terminated and restarted how can i check if the software limits are enabled or not? the same function enables and disables them 'flex_enable_limits' and i cant find a way of checking which state its in.
when i terminate my program the last state of the limit switches (enabled/disabled) is stored in the card memory until i initialise the hardware again correct?
any idea how to check if the limits are enabled or not?

cheers in advance
dan

Dan,

You can use the flex_read_axis_status_rtn function to check the status of the limit switches. Let me know if you need more details on how to use it.
