Why is it necessary, or even desirable, to define axis and pin configurations on the PC side in dotNet? These will generally be defined in the Init.c, so why do it in both places?

Hello Ray,

You do not need to define axis or interpreter settings in code if you do not wish.

My thoughts were that if i was going to bother building an app i would like to set everything from my app for fine grained control.  I also prefer to persist data in a more structured manner such as a database or at least XML so serialization tasks are more predictable/reliable.

Also note that i designed the .net lib with MM's best interests in mind and did not want MM to care about specific hardware implementation details such as maintaining .c files,etc...(although you still have the ability to config things externally as well).


So, short answer is to call your c file(s) after you create the controller object if that is your preferred method.

Brad,

OK, makes sense. I agree such things should be set from the PC side, as much as possible, and will gravitate that direction with my app as well, over time. Right now, I'm focused on getting things up and running, and usable for real work, as quickly, and with as little effort, as possible.

Regards,
Ray L.
