dspMC/IP Motion Controller / Re: DSPMC Macro

Thanks John. That's a great write-up. I have a unique situation with the glass scales. Instead of moving the table to a limit switch, with these scales, I only have to move 1cm to find the tables absolute position. The position on the scale is encoded into the z encoder. I want to take advantage of this. I don't want to have to install limit switches.
My question is specific to the DSPMC. The macros are coded in visual basic. I expect that runs pretty slow and may not be able to keep up with the encoder pulses. I also need to know how to read the Z input on the DSPMC. I didn't see a way to do this in the Macro user manual. I was hoping Rufi would have some answers.
