Get/Set of AnalogMonitorConfigParams in BBD302

[jingham123]

Hi,
I am currently using a BBD302 to control an XY stage and use the two BNC I/O ports as analogue position indicators. I need to be able to adjust the settings within the AnalogMonitorConfigParams, such as the offset, scale, channel number etc. I have looked through the documentation and found the APT indication to this.
MGMSG_MOT_SET_ANALOGMONITORCONFIG 0x0269
MGMSG_MOT_REQ_ANALOGMONITORCONFIG 0x0270
MGMSG_MOT_GET_ANALOGMONITORCONFIG 0x0271
How can I utilise this in conjunction with the code here for controlling the device (I am working in matlab).
Any help is much appreciated!
Thanks
James

Hello,

Thank you for reaching out. Assuming you are using the examples we give using the .NET protocol, this is done using two method calls the first being SetIOPortConfigParams which will let you configure the BNC port to be a digital output for a specific channel. After that you can call SetAnalogMonitorConfigParams which will let you set the position monitor variable. You can check out the method descriptions for these in the Thorlabs.MotionCotnrol.DotNET_API.chm in your Kinesis folder, but if you have any other questions or concerns. feel free to reach out to your local tech support team at techsupport@thorlabs.com.

Bests,
