Returns TRUE if the Pipe is deactivated.

Remarks

A Pipe contains an Input Pipe Block (Master, PMP, or Sampler), a Converter Output Pipe Block, and any Transformation Pipe Block that can be in between.

The MLPipeDeact image shows two Pipes, both with the same Master Input Pipe Block.
- The first ends with the first converter and has a Gear Pipe Block to transform the input values from the Master.
- The second ends with the second converter and has a CAM Pipe Block to modify the input values from the Master.
Once a Pipe is activated, history on the values in the Pipe's Blocks are lost and no longer updated.
- A Converter object connected to a destination Axis object cannot send updated position Position means a point in space which is described by different coordinates. Depending on the used system and transformation it can consist of a maximum of six dimensions (coordinates).This means three Cartesian coordinates in space and coordinates for the orientation. In ACS there can be even more than six coordinates. If the same position is described in different coordinate systems the values of the coordinates are different. values once its Pipe is deactivated.

All Pipes in the Pipe Network can be deactivated at once with the command PipeNetwork(MLPN_DEACTIVATE).
This calls automatically generated code with MLPipeDeact commands for each Pipe object.
In a multi-pipe program The act of performing a sequence of instructions or commands., only one command can be used to deactivate Pipes instead of writing code for each Pipe separately.
