MGT - Read Magsensor Track Position
Alias: MGTRACK HexCode: 2A CANOpen id: 0x211E
Description:
When one or more MGS1600 Magnetic Guide Sensors are connected to the controller,
this query reports the position of the tracks detected under the sensor. If only one sensor
is connected to any pulse input, the argument following the query selects which track to
read. If more than one sensor is connected to pulse inputs and these inputs are enabled
and configured in Magsensor MultiPWM mode, then the argument following the query is
used to select the sensor. The reported position of the magnetic track in millimeters, us-
ing the center of the sensor as the 0 reference.
Syntax Serial: ?MGT cc
Argument: Channel
Min: 1 Max: 3 * Total Number of Pulse Inputs
