{
    using (IEALConnection ealConnection = new EALConnection())    // Creates axis object with synchronous execution method
    {
        // Connects to the real drive
        ealConnection.Connect("192.168.0.10");;
        // Reads parameter S-0-0386 as string. Read method is always synchronous.
        string actualPositionStr = axis.Parameter.ReadDataAsString("S-0-0386.0.0");
        // Prints the actual position
        Console.WriteLine("Actual position of S-0-0036 parameter is {0}", actualPositionStr);
    }
}
Asynchronous method
 Copy imageCopy
private static void Sample()
{
    using (IEALConnection ealConnection = new EALConnection(true))    // Creates axis object with asynchronous execution method
    {
        // Connect to the real drive task will be added to the queue
        ealConnection.Connect("192.168.0.10");;
        // Waits untill all task in the queue gets executed
        ealConnection.WaitUntilQueueComplete();
        // Reads parameter S-0-0386 as string. Read method is always synchronous.
        string actualPositionStr = axis.Parameter.ReadDataAsString("S-0-0386.0.0");
        // Prints the actual position
        Console.WriteLine("Actual position of S-0-0036 parameter is {0}", actualPositionStr);
