MLCNVInit

Description

Initializes a converter Pipe Block. Function A function calculates a result according to the current value of its inputs. A function has no internal data and is not linked to declared instances. block is automatically called if a Convertor Block is added to the Pipe Network, with the input mode (position or speed) entered in the Pipe Blocks Properties screen. The Converter block changes the incoming flow of speed or position values to continuous position output with no periodicity.

• 
  

• Converter objects are normally created in the Pipe Network using the graphical engine. Then you do not have to add MLCNVInit function blocks to their programs. Parameters are entered directly in pop-up windows, and the code is then automatically added to the current project.
