How to set the location of PhotoEye/Decision point on Curved Conveyor using code

Hi Team,.

I have added a label on the conveyor which indicates at what % of length of the conveyor the photo eye should move.

How do I set the location of photo eye on the curved conveyor.

Attached is the model.

Thank you

Starting from a reference to the Photo Eye, the following code will set its location depending on the label value.

Object PE = Model.find("PE2");
Object conveyor = ownerobject(PE.find(">variables/conveyorPoint/1+"));

double length = Math.fabs(conveyor.getProperty("SweepAngle")*conveyor.getProperty("Radius")*Math.pi/180);
function_s(PE, "setDistAlongConveyor", length*conveyor.Sensor1/100);

If curved length was a property it would have been helpful.
