Can't use flexmotion vb ex's due to problem retriving error description.

[paulosull]

Hi,
Im having problems using the examples supplied with the motion control
(version
6.1.2). My problem is essentially the same as a problem on your discussion
forum. The problem is under the heading "Retrieve error description from
PCI-7334 board with VB". A solution is given but when I replace the
function
prototypes in the file FLEXMOTN.BAS, it generates an error
"-70022(NIMC_functionSupportError)". Any help you could provide would be
greatly appreciated.
Thanks very much,
Paul.

Software Details: Visual Basic version N/A
NI Hardware : Motion Control device MID-7604
Driver Version : 6.1.2
Operating System: Windows XP

Hi Paul,

Have you got any Read functions in the code you are using? All Flex API read functions that uses onboard program should return NIMC_functionSupportError for Softmotion. The easiest way to find these functions is to look for read functions that have a "twin" and remove the one without the "_rtn" suffix. Example: flex_read_something flex_read_something_rtn flex_read_something will return function support error.

It may be worth sending an attachment of the code that does this so I can take a look.
