Remarks

• MLCNVInit 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.
  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.
