User Manual V1.01
OK: This closes the Curve Editor and the curve is taken with the actual settings. If the
"OK" button is not available, the curve must first be calculated by clicking on the
"Calculate" button.
Cancel: This closes the curve editor discarding any changes made. A confirmation is
requested in case the curve was modified.
Wizard Type: With the "Wizard Type" the user can select in which way he wants to
create the reference curve. The possibilities are: "Manual", "Ramp", "Sine" and "Point
to Point". Chapter 5.8.5 describes the wizards in detail.
Drive Type: This specifies for which type of drive the curve is to be generated. The
following choices are available: "LinMot Pxx-xx", "Stepper" and "Magnet".
Name: The name of the curve is free, as long as it doesn't exceed 22 characters in
length.
Time: The time unit display in the neighboring editable field can be selected with the
"Time" button between period [ms] and frequency [Hz]. The speed at which the curve
will be executed is set in this field. In the "point to Point" wizard the user cannot specify
the time, as it is calculated.
If the drive type selected in the creation of the curve does not correspond with the actual
drive type, the electronic unit will generate an run-time error ("Curve Error") when the
curve is called.
Add: The number of points that should be added at the end of the curve can be entered
in the dialog box that is displayed by clicking on this button. The inserted values are set
automatically to the value of the last edited point. This button is only visible for the
"Manual" wizard.
Insert: The number of points that should be inserted at the selected point in the curve
can be entered in the dialog box that is displayed by clicking on this button. The inserted
values are set automatically to the value of the last point. This button is only visible for
the "Manual" wizard.
Remove: All the selected points are removed from the curve. This button is only visible
for the "Manual" wizard.
As a result of rounding, changing the number of points can slightly affect the speed at
which the curve is executed. This effect is more evident in the case of very slow curves,
or curves with few points. The values displayed during editing are not the actual entered
values, but the ones actually usable by the electronic unit.
