Advanced
You can use the advanced functions to control the communications between the host computer and NI motion controller. These functions allow you to check the status of communications, clear the RDB, and manage the low-level communications to the controller. You typically do not have to use any of these functions because the default configuration is correct for almost all applications. These functions are available to handle special applications.
The advanced functions include specialized read and write functions for quickly viewing axis or coordinate data or status information, configuring I/O lines, and so on.
The advanced functions also include advanced methods and two utility functions that are regularly used but are different from the rest of the NI-Motion API in that they are not typically included in application code: Clear Power Up Status and Save Default Parameters.
