MC-Basic:pls.PLSPOSITION

Sets or queries individual PLS position values. When a PLS is defined, no PLS positions exist. A PLS position data structure must be created, using the CREATEPLSDATA command. This PPOS property is used to define PLS position values.

PLS positions units are depend in the plssource type.
For example - In case plssource is PCMD the units are given in user units and are affected by the axis displacement and position factor properties. In this case positions are absolute values (not incremental values).
In case of plssource from type PlsPercentage the units are % , and in case of PlsTime the units are msec.

The PLS position data must be monotonic or the PLS is not enabled.
