CAM-Editor Toolbar
The CAM-Editor toolbar contains the following special fields:
Array – This field lists all the arrays currently defined and allows the user to select the array to be edited.
Each item in the list will consist of the array number followed by the curve profile name. If the array does
not correspond to a curve profile, then "Array" will be displayed as the name. Non-curve arrays can be
selected but they cannot be edited as curves.
Length – This displays the minimum length required for the array. This is the minimum value needed for the
DIM statement in the APOSS program.
The non-standard toolbar buttons that are specific to the CAM-Editor are as follows:
Zoom Reset – Redisplay the diagram so that the entire curve is visible.
Zoom In by a factor of 2 and display only the central portion of the diagram.
Zoom Out by a factor of 2.
Reset splitters – Restore the splitters in the window to their default positions.
Undo the last change to either a Fixpoint or a Start Stop point. If multiple changes were made at a
single time (for example adding multiple points, or by clicking the → Snap on Grid button), then these
changes will be undone as a set. If no changes are available to be undone, then this button will be
disabled and grayed.
Note that if multiple curve arrays exist, then a separate undo list is maintained for each curve.
Redo a change that was undone using the Undo button.
Snap on Grid – Snap all Fix points and Start Stop points to the interpolation grid.
Read from controller – Read the existing configuration parameters and all arrays and curves from a
controller. This will replace all existing parameters and arrays currently in the CAM-Editor.
Import an ACSII text file that has been exported with the → Export toolbar button. The imported
curve will replace the currently selected curve. The format of the file must exactly match an export file
or the import will not succeed.
Export the curve data for the currently selected curve to an ASCII text file with the extension ".dat".
This is useful if you want to process the curve outside of APOSS (for example, using a spreadsheet).
Please see "Array Structure of CAM Profiles" in the chapter "Technical Reference" for a description of
the exact format of the array.
Add CAM array – A new curve profile array is added after the last existing array. A dialog is displayed
allowing the user to set the initial attributes of the curve. The new curve will then be automatically
selected and displayed. The initial curve will contain only two Fix points and will be a straight line.
Additional Fix points should then be added to define the actual shape of the curve.
Delete array – The currently selected array will be deleted. Note that any array may be deleted; the
array need not be a curve profile array.
