Overview of the processes

The following table once again gives an overview of the available processes and the method to determine the contouring parameter.

Contouring parameter	Automatic contouring 1	Automatic contouring 2	Distance contouring	Corner deviation contouring	Interim point contouring	Dynamic contouring
Pre-distance/ Post-distance	auto	auto	by the user	auto	by the user	by the user
Corner deviation	by the user	cannot be parametered	cannot be parametered	by the user	cannot be parametered	cannot be parametered
Interim point	auto	auto	auto	auto	by the user	auto

The following diagram helps to find the suiting contouring type for a given used case. In each case the polynomic contouring is a compromise between deviation from original contour and reduction of velocity (curvature-continuous).
