Edit" Curve Menu; View" Parameter Menu - Danfoss VLT5000 SyncPos Operating Instructions Manual

■ ■ ■ ■ ■ "EDIT" curve menu
In the menu "EDIT", you will find functions that are
required for the calculation of the curve; provided
that they are frequently needed, they can also be
started directly via a button in the editor or be
selected in checkboxes.
"UNDO" and "REDO"
How often and in what work steps Undo has an
effect is determined by "RECALC". Every → "UNDO"
restores the situation up to the previous Recalc. If
you → "SAVE" the file, the Undo memory will be
deleted.
Select "EDIT" → "UNDO" or use the key combi-
nation [ALT] + [BACKSPACE].
"EDIT" → "REDO" or the key combination [ALT] +
[SHIFT] + [BACKSPACE] restores the work steps
prior to the Undo command.
"RECALCULATION"
In many actions – for example in all interactive
actions – the curve is recalculated and displayed
immediately. When you fill out the fields such as the
fixpoints or parameters, you determine the moment
yourself with this function.
Select "EDIT" → "RECALC" or click on the Recal-
Button or press [F9] in order to activate the Recal-
culation and the new curve display. This is always
required if you add new fixpoints, for example, or if
you change parameters or Curve Data.
During every recalculation of the curve, a consisten-
cy check is performed, too. This can lead to a series
of error messages and notes which you must
confirm. For example, if end and start points are not
connected or if there are not enough fixpoints for a
curve section (at least three).

"PERMANENT RECALCULATION"
In all interactive actions and many other actions the
curve is recalculated and displayed immediately.
Turn off → "PERMANENT RECALC", if the interactive
redrawing of the curve during the modification of the
points is disruptive. You can then move the point
with the help of the mouse first, before the curve is
redrawn.
"SNAP ON GRID"
If the fixpoints are to be set automatically on the
interpolation grid – this is recommended – you
should activate → "SNAP ON GRID" align.
The function will not be executed if the master
length is not divisible in whole numbers by the
number of intervals.
■ ■ ■ ■ ■ "VIEW" menu
In addition to the fixpoints, you can graphically dis-
play the following curve information and parame-
ters. For example, if you have reduced the size of
the CAM-Editor window to such an extent that the
checkboxes are no longer displayed, you can turn
the graphic illustration of the parameters in the
View menu on and off. The only item you cannot
activate here is the diagram of the engage and
disengage curves, since the curve and direction
are determined by one input. The ü checks indica-
te the currently activated views.
The menu selection and the checkboxes are divided
into groups which correspond to the index cards.
Alternatively, you can activate the graphic display
of the parameters by clicking on the checkboxes
or by entering the number of the point pair in the
case of the engage and disengage curves.
Familiarize yourself with the meaning and graphic
illustration of the parameters in the corresponding
index cards.
