Does anyone knows how to read the coordinate system type (world/base/tool/work) by using PC SDK?

I have a vision program on PC and when I read the position from controller, I need to check if user is moving the TCP along work object coordinate.

    In the MechanicalUnit Class, you have the function GetPosition(CoordinateSystemType). This function return the current position as robtarget. (This information can be found in the documentation)

    CoordinateSystemType are pre-defined coordinate systems and you can choose between 'Base', 'Undefined', 'Tool', 'WorkObject' and 'World'.
    Controller _controller = .......;
.....

RobTarget _position = _controller.MotionSystem.ActiveMechanicalUnit.GetPosition(CoordinateSystemType.World);
