Returns the position of the selected block's Axis at the moment when it was triggered.

Remarks

  • Returns the modulo-applied position of the pipe at the moment it is triggered by the Trigger Block's selected Fast Input.
  • This value is only valid when TrigIsTrigged() returns TRUE.
    • The Trigger block extrapolates the output value based on the timestamp of the Fast Input event to provide an accurate position even if the event occurs in the middle of a program cycle.
  • Once triggered, a block has to be reset before it can be triggered again.
    • All events sent to a block while in a triggered state are ignored.
    • The position and time information is lost.
  • Modulo Calculation: MLTrigReadPos uses the Output Modulo Position value of the previous block in the pipe, even if the previous pipe is configured for No Modulo mode.
    • The previous block must specify a 0 (zero) value for Output Modulo Position before setting the Mode to No Modulo to prevent a modulo operation for MLTrigReadPosPipe.
  • Previous Function Name: MLTrigGetPos
