.SH DESCRIPTION
.SS Purpose
Use \*f to retrieve the current state of the specified valuator device.
.SS C Input Parameters
Applications using the \s-2C\s+2 binding must create a buffer to be used by this
function as memory space for storing data associated with the device state.
This buffer is passed as the \fIstore\fP argument.
.LP 
The store buffer is a data area managed by the \s-2PHIGS\s+2. While the 
application is responsible for creating the initial buffer through a call to 
\s-2CREATE STORE\s+2, \s-2PHIGS\s+2 manages this area such that there is
sufficient memory for the specific inquiry. The valuator device data record
within the store buffer is accessed via the pointer pointed to by \fIval_data\fR.
.IP \fIws\fP
Workstation identifier. An integer specifying the workstation with which
the specified valuator device is associated.
.IP \fIdev\fP
The device number of the valuator device.
See the \fIAvailable Devices\fP section of \s-2INITIALIZE VALUATOR\s+2
for a description of the available devices.
.IP \fIstore\fP
The memory buffer \s-2PHIGS\s+2 is to use for storing the information
returned.  
This buffer must exist prior to calling this function (see
\s-2CREATE STORE (3P)\s+2).
.SS C Output Parameters
.IP \fIerr\fP
A pointer to the location to store the error number of any error detected by this function.
.IP \fIop_mode\fP
The operating mode. Pop_mode is an enumerated type defined in phigs.h
with the following values:
.ta .5i
.nf
.sp .4
typedef enum {
.sp .2
	POP_REQ,
	POP_SAMPLE,
	POP_EVENT
.sp .2
} Pop_mode;
.fi
.bp
.IP \fIecho_switch\fP
The echo state. Pecho_switch is an enumerated type defined in phigs.h
with the following values:
.ta .5i
.nf
.sp .4
typedef enum {
.sp .2
	PSWITCH_NO_ECHO,
	PSWITCH_ECHO
.sp .2
} Pecho_switch;
.fi
.IP \fIinit_value\fP
Initial value.
.IP \fIprompt_echo\fP
The prompt/echo type desired.
See the \fIAvailable Devices\fP Section of \s-2INITIALIZE VALUATOR\s+2
for a description of the available types.
.IP \fIecho_vol\fP
A pointer to a Plimit3 structure defining the
\fIx\fP, \fIy\fP, and \fIz\fP
components of the echo volume, in Device Coordinates.
Plimit3 is defined in phigs.h as follows:
.sp .4
.ta .5i +1i  +1i
.nf
typedef struct {
.sp .2
	Pfloat	x_min;	/* minimum x coordinate value */
	Pfloat	x_max;	/* maximum x coordinate value */
	Pfloat	y_min;	/* minimum y coordinate value */
	Pfloat	y_max;	/* maximum y coordinate value */
	Pfloat	z_min;	/* minimum z coordinate value */
	Pfloat	z_max;	/* maximum z coordinate value */
.sp .2
} Plimit3;
.fi
.IP \fIval_data\fP
Pointer to a pointer that points to the pick device state within \fIstore\fR.
Pval_data3 is defined in phigs.h as follows:
.sp .4
.nf
.ta .5i  +.5i  +.5i +.5i   
.sp .2
typedef struct {
.sp .2
	Pfloat	low;	/* low range limit */
	Pfloat	high;	/* high range limit */
	union {
		struct {
			Pint	unused;
		} pet_r1;
		struct {
			char	*label;
			char	*format;
			char	*low_label;
			char	*high_label;
		} pet_u1;
	} pets;
.sp .2
} Pval_data3;
.fi
.SS Execution
\*f returns the current state of the
specified valuator device, which is stored in the workstation
state list of the workstation associated with the device.  The
current state includes the operating mode, echo switch, initial value,
prompt/echo type, echo volume, and data record.
See \s-2SET VALUATOR MODE\s+2 for a description of the operating mode and the
echo switch, and how to set these values.
See \s-2INITIALIZE VALUATOR 3\s+2 for a description of the initial valuator,
prompt/echo type, echo volume, and data record contents, and how to set these
values.
.LP
In the event of an error, the \fIerror indicator\fP 
indicates the error number of the error detected, and no other output data
is returned.  If no error is detected, the \fIerror indicator\fP 
is set to zero, and the inquired information will be available in the output
parameters.  Since this is an inquiry function, \s-2ERROR HANDLING\s+2 is not
invoked when an error is detected by this function.
