Title: H2-CTRIO - No Velocity Value
Post by: ATU on November 23, 2014, 07:50:27 PM

Using CTDYNVEL with H2-CTRIO module. I get the pulse train, but the instruction or the structure in a watch window doesn't display the Velocity when its running. Output Active Comes on. Success bit is ON when not running, OFF when running.  I have 1 Pulse Profile set up running Dynamic Velocity. This is on an H2-DM1E

Looking at the Help topic for CTDYNVEL DMD0517.  It states that the .OutputVelocity member is not available for the original CTRIO module, just CTRIO2.  It will be 0 for CTRIO.  See the attached screen shot.

Those Footnotes get me every time. I guess it would be too much trouble to grey those out or put N/A in those fields?

No, it could be done. The vast majority of DmD doesn't know the difference between the two modules, by design, since the CTRIO2 was designed to be a drop in replacement. It can be known without too much effort, and would help those that used the monitor utility.

If it was greyed out, I would have looked more closely at the help file.
