Motion Control API, Motion Dialogs Library

As we developed the Motion Control API (MCAPI) and the many application programs we provide that use the MCAPI, our programmers found they were constantly re-using common bits of code. Bits like setup dialogs for servo and stepper motors, or handy functions that save axis settings to a file or restore axis settings from a file, and dialog boxes that allow the user to select a motion controller from all the controllers currently installed in a PC.

So we figured if they're useful to us they might just be useful to our customers. The result is the Motion Dialog library, a set of user interface functions and dialogs that are pre-built, tested, and ready to run.

In the Motion Dialogs library you will find:

Setup dialogs for servo motor and stepper motor axes
Functions to save all axis settings to a file and to restore all axis settings from a file
Dialog box for configuring user defined scaling
Functions to save and restore the settings of the user programmable digital I/O
Dialogs to select controller from available installed controllers and to display controller properties

Note: The Motion Dialog functions are not currently supported for the Linux version of the Motion Control API.
