Chapter 6 Programming

6-4

Explanation on the programming employing samples.

・ Example: for Visual C++ – the one written with the visual C++6.0

programming language is indicated.

・ It is the same as other C-programming language (either Windows or not)

・ Example: for Visual BASIC – the one written with the visual BASIC

programming language is indicated

In the sample, making easier to understand the description method, function return

values ARE NOT checked. When you actually make programming, check any error

shown by a return value.

Depending on the error type, the motion control section terminates the control

automatically.

Regarding errors, refer to the error table.

Program Description:

Example: for Visual C++

pa_ini_sys(); ... PA library initialization

pa_opn_arm( ARM0 ); ... 1

arm open

pa_sta_arm( ARM0 ); ... Control Start

Motion Description Section

pa_ext_arm( ARM0 ); ... Control Stop

pa_cls_arm( ARM0 ); ... 1

arm close

pa_ter_sys(); ... PA library termination

Example: for Visual BASIC

Dim ret As Long

：

ret = pa_ini_sys() ... PA library initialization

ret = pa_opn_arm( ARM0 ) ... 1

arm open

ret = pa_sta_arm( ARM0 ) ... Control Start

Motion Description Section

ret = pa_ext_arm( ARM0 ) ... Control Exit

ret = pa_cls_arm( ARM0 ) ... 1

arm close

ret = pa_ter_sys() ... PA library termination

This is the minimum necessary description library.
