Tab: Tappets

In this graphical editor, the tappet paths are defined. A tappet path defines one or more tappets depending on the master position. At the upper edge of the editor window, a horizontal axis approaches the range of the master positions. The individual tappet paths follow below.

At any time, you can switch between the graphical editor and the alternative tabular editor (Tab: Tappet Table).

"Track ID" of the tappet path

All tappets of a tappet path refer to the same tappet switch (a variable of type BOOL).
