ReadSingleFTRecord( readings() As Double ) As Integer

Scans the hardware, performs any averaging necessary, and computes the force/torque readings. Use this function after calling StartSingleSampleAcquisition

Arguments

readings

In: Array of 6 doubles.

Out: A single force/torque reading.
readings[0] = fx
readings[1] = fy
readings[2] = fz
readings[3] = tx
readings[4] = ty
readings[5] = tz
The readings are in the current force and torque output units, which you can set using SetForceUnits and SetTorqueUnits.

Returns

0 if successful
1 if calibration not initialized ( call LoadCalibrationFile before calling this function)
2 if gauges are saturated ( gauge saturation is defined as 99.5% of maximum voltage )
other: error code resulting from hardware read.
