Calculate: The curve is calculated according to the selected wizard and the settings
made. A dialog box with a suggested number of points is displayed. The user can accept
the value or set a specific number of points for the curve. This button is visible for the
"Ramp", "Sine" and "Point to Point" wizards.
Undo: The last entry is undone. A maximum of 50 undo steps can be executed.
Redo: This restores the last action that was undone.
This table displays the single points of the curve in the "Manual" wizard. Points can be
added, inserted and removed with the "Add", "Insert" and "Remove" buttons. The
number format and the value are checked after entering.
Start Point: The starting point of the curve is defined here. The unit depends on the
selected "Drive Type" and is adjusted automatically. "Start Point" is visible for the
"Ramp", "Sine" and "Point To Point" wizards.
End Point: The ending point of the curve is defined here. The unit depends on the
selected "Drive Type". "End Point" is visible for the "Ramp", "Sine" and "Point To
Point" wizards.
max Speed: The maximum speed that is allowed in the curve can be set with "max
Speed". The unit depends on the selected "Drive Type". "max Speed" is only visible for
the "Point To Point" wizard.
Max Start Acc: The maximal acceleration allowed when the curve is started is defined
by "Max Start Acc". The unit depends on the selected "Drive Type". "Max Start Acc" is
only visible for the "Point To Point" wizard.
Max Stop Acc: The maximal acceleration allowed when the curve ends is defined by
"Max Stop Acc". The unit depends on the selected "Drive Type". "Max Stop Acc" is
only visible for the "Point To Point" wizard.
The wizards are used to enter reference curves in different ways. This gives the user the
possibility to define the possible motion profiles and current profiles with little effort.
With this wizard every value in the curve to be created can be entered manually. The
user can set the number of points in the curve and the time corresponding to one run of
the curve. All changes are displayed automatically in the graph window during editing.
This generates a curve for a linear movement from the "Start Point" to the "End Point",
to be executed in the time specified.
This generates a sine formed curve from the "Start Point" to the "End Point", to be
executed in the time specified.
This generates a curve for a jump from the "Start Point" to the "End Point", for which
the maximum start and stop accelerations are limited by "max Start Acc" and "max Stop
Acc". The maximum speed is given by "max Speed". The time needed to execute the
movement defined in the curve can only be read, as it is calculated by the wizard
according to the limits set.
