Code Snippet

  void NetworkStart(MotionController *controller)
  {
    // Initialize the Network
    if (controller->NetworkStateGet() != RSINetworkState::RSINetworkStateOPERATIONAL) // Check if network is started already.
    {
      std::cout << "Starting Network.." << std::endl;
      controller->NetworkStart(); // If not. Initialize The Network. (This can also be done from RapidSetup Tool)
    }
 
    if (controller->NetworkStateGet() != RSINetworkState::RSINetworkStateOPERATIONAL) // Check if network is started again.
    {
      RSINetworkStartError startError = controller->LastNetworkStartErrorGet();
      std::cout << "Network start error: " << NetworkStartErrorName(startError)
                << " (" << static_cast<int>(startError) << ")" << std::endl;
 
      int messagesToRead = controller->NetworkLogMessageCountGet(); // Some kind of error starting the network, read the network log messages
 
      for (int i = 0; i < messagesToRead; i++)
      {
        std::cout << controller->NetworkLogMessageGet(i) << std::endl; // Print all the messages to help figure out the problem
      }
      throw std::runtime_error("Expected OPERATIONAL state but the network did not get there.");
    }
    else // Else, of network is operational.
    {
      std::cout << "Network Started" << std::endl << std::endl;
