The RMP Motion Controller APIs

◆ RecorderConfigureToTriggerOnMotion()

void RecorderConfigureToTriggerOnMotion ( Axis * axis,
bool triggerOnMotion )
Description:
RecorderConfigureToTriggerOnMotion sets the recorder to trigger on motion. The recording will will start when the motion starts, and the recording will automatically stop when the Motion Done condition is true.
Parameters
(axisor multiAxis) Axis or MultiAxis object to be affected.
triggerOnMotionA boolean value to set trigger state. TRUE = trigger on Motion.
Remarks
This function is also available in RapidSequencer. Part of the Recorder method group.
