Tab: Cam Table

As an alternative to the graphical editor, you can also define the cam graphs In the cam table (Cam tab). You can switch between the tabular editor and the graphical editor at any time.

The first line of the table always contains the start position of the master (and the related slave values) and the last line is always the end position. The lines in-between alternately define segments and points.

The following values result from the values of the respective segment. They cannot be modified.

min(Position)

Minimum value of the slave position

max(Position)

Maximum value of the slave position

max(Velocity)

Maximum value of the velocity of the slave, based on the master axis

max(Acceleration)

Maximum value of the acceleration of the slave, based on the master axis
