Specification of the type of transition

#SET ASPLINE MODE [ <start_transition>, <target_transition> ]  (modal)

<start_transition>,

<target_transition> Type of tangential transition between the spline curve and the adjacent (linear- or circular) movement blocks.

Type of transition	Significance
1	Tangent of the spline curve at the transition is automatically calculated
2	Tangential transition to the preceding or succeeding linear or circular block
3	Tangent of the spline curve at the transition is explicitly specified

The specification of the of transition type is optional. In case of a missing specification, transition type 1 is used as default.

Specification of the type of transition 1: — Fig. 11.8: Exampel for the combination of transition types 1 and 2

If explicit tangent specification is chosen for a certain transition (transition type 3) and if for a certain axis no tangent is programmed, then this tangent is automatically determined (transition type 1).
