How to pass a value to an enumeration member?

I am trying to change the default trigger setting on a Thorlabs brushless DC controller.

I can read the current setting, but I have troubke changing to change the value to a new setting that matches the application.

Is there a place where I can learn more how to assign values to a member of an enumeration.

Thanks

==============

K>> triggerSetting.Trigger2Mode

ans =

TrigOUT_GPO

K>> triggerSetting.Trigger2Mode = 'TrigOUT_InMotion'

Error setting property 'Trigger2Mode' of class 'KCubeTriggerConfigSettings':

Value must be 'Thorlabs.MotionControl.GenericMotorCLI.Settings.KCubeTriggerConfigSettings+TriggerPortMode'.

first steps

asm = NET.addAssembly("<...>");

enTrigPortModes = asm.AssemblyHandle.GetType("<...TriggerPortMode>")

trigPortModeNames = string(enTrigPortModes.GetEnumNames); % get enum values as strings

% loop through the enumerator or convert string to enum object

trigPortMode = System.Enum.Parse(enTrigPortMode,trigPortModeNames(n)); % from name to object to be assigned

Thanks for the suggestion. It seems that the GetType does not work in this case--I am able to read the type using class, but when tried to typecast using the response about type from class(), get this message:

No method 'GetType' with matching signature found for class 'Thorlabs.MotionControl.GenericMotorCLI.Settings.KCubeTriggerConfigSettings'.

===================================

K>> triggerSetting.GetType("Thorlabs.MotionControl.GenericMotorCLI.Settings.KCubeTriggerConfigSettings+TriggerPortMode")

No method 'GetType' with matching signature found for class 'Thorlabs.MotionControl.GenericMotorCLI.Settings.KCubeTriggerConfigSettings'.

K>> device.MotorDeviceSettings.TriggerConfigSettings.GetType("Thorlabs.MotionControl.GenericMotorCLI.Settings.KCubeTriggerConfigSettings+TriggerPortMode")

No method 'GetType' with matching signature found for class 'Thorlabs.MotionControl.GenericMotorCLI.Settings.KCubeTriggerConfigSettings'.

K>> class(device.MotorDeviceSettings.TriggerConfigSettings)

ans =

'Thorlabs.MotionControl.GenericMotorCLI.Settings.KCubeTriggerConfigSettings'

Hi Raha,

To assign a value to a member of an enumeration, you need to use the dot notation. Here's an example of how to set the Trigger2Mode property to TrigOUT_InMotion:

triggerSetting.Trigger2Mode = Thorlabs.MotionControl.GenericMotorCLI.Settings.KCubeTriggerConfigSettings.TriggerPortMode.TrigOUT_InMotion;

Make sure to use the full enumeration path, including the namespace and the enumeration name, to avoid errors.
