Icon Description
Creates motion according to a specified profile
that is dependent on the position of a master
axis or on the elapsed time.
Automatically sets control loop gains based on
actual system measurements and tunes the
XtraDrive driver accordingly. See section 4.6,
Tuning the Control Loops, for full details.
The mechanical analysis (FFT) option samples
and analyzes 2000 speed data points. The
speed is a response to sinusoidal torque
frequency commands. The response is
displayed as a graph of the gain (dB) and
phase angle (degree) versus frequency (Hz in
log scale). According to the graph, the relevant
parameters can then be adjusted in order to
reduce the effect of the mechanical restrictions.
