I've tried that by doing the simplistic thing:
<snip>
mode = c_int(0)
piezo1.GetMaxTravel(APTPiezoLib.CHAN1_ID, byref(mode))
</snip>
And I get:
Exception: Cannot put <cparam 'P' (012D7468)> in VARIANT
I guess that means I do need that pass_by_reference() function to do some
massaging of types.

Is there anything you would recommend me to read to try to get some ideas
on my own?
Thanks for your help!
