This C++ example shows how to read actual current driven into motor.

//read raw value of current
smint32 readout;
smRead1Parameter(  handle, nodeAddress, SMP_ACTUAL_TORQUE, &readout );
 
//as raw value is integer in "hardware units" scale, convert it to amperes
float actualcurrent;
const float HWcurrentScale=560;//counts/A, this conversion value is for Argon
actualcurrent=float(smint16(ana2))/HWcurrentScale;
 
//current in amps is now in actualcurrent
 
//TODO, do error checking for all sm commands
