SearchL with No Sensor

Is there a way to use the SearchL command without a sensor.  I would like to monitor servo feedback and use that as the trigger rather than a sensor.

  • I've done something similar before. If you have Multitasking you can create a background task that sets a virtual output. Cross connect that output to a virtual input and use the input in your SearchL.

  • Hi David,

    Thanks for the response.  What is the feedback coming from that we set the virtual output with?  Is there a servo feedback variable that I can look at?
  • I thought you had an external servo. If you mean you want to monitor a robot axis you could read the current torque of an axis with function GetMotorTorque().
