Has anyone used the Cincinnati Milacron Remote Real Time Interface on a T3
646 robot (version 5 control) or other similar Cinci robot?  I'm having a
problem using the Send Joints command, which instructs the robot controller
to send its current robot joint positions to the host.  I have the DDCMP link
established, and I've gotten the robot to send some joints out, but the data
is really suspicious--it should be IEEE 4-bit floating point data, but half
of each 4-byte set is ALWAYS zero.  Does anyone have any idea what may be
going on?  The Cinci tech support guys are really being slow in answering this
one.  Thanks in advance for any replies.
