Reading MMOD in script always returns 0

getconfig(_MMOD, [1|2]) always returns 0 regardless of motor mode. Serial command ~MMOD returns the correct value, but that doesn't seem to be accessible from scripting. I was trying to determine the initial state of the motors to check if they are in open or closed mode. There wasn't anything in the documentation that I could find that said that value wasn't accessible from scripting, so I assume it must be a bug.

----

Option Explicit

dim motor1Mode as integer
dim motor2Mode as integer

Top:

motor1Mode = getvalue(_MMOD, 1)
motor2Mode = getvalue(_MMOD, 2)

Print("Motor Mode 1=",motor1Mode," 2=",motor2Mode,"\n")

wait(1000)

goto Top
 

My mistake. Was calling getvalue() instead of getconfig().
