Command: Read Cam Data from ASCII Table
Function: The command reads an ASCII file.
Call: menu
Requirement: The cam editor is open.
When being read, the file data is interpreted as the X/Y-values of a cam. The Number of points dialog opens so that you can decrease the number of interpolation points. Then the determined points are interpolated to a cam and displayed in the editor.
The Write Cam Data to ASCII Table commands creates an appropriate TXT file.
Dialog: Number of Points
Number of Points | Number of points used for interpolation. Preset: According to the number of X/Y-values that are stored in the read file. Example: You can decrease the preset value in order to determine the cam with fewer interpolation points. When determining the interpolation points, their X-values are distributed equidistantly. |
Tip
As the cam is interpolated using a 5th degree polynomial, a larger number of interpolation points may cause oscillations.
