The Properties of the Slave

The slave's property page offers the following facilities:

Maximum and minimum values can be specified for position, velocity, acceleration and jerk. These values can be used as initial specifications when the graphic window is first displayed. Adjustment to the current values in the diagram can be performed in the relevant graphic window with the Adjust to Extreme Values command.

The Rounding Value rounds the slave position in the graphic input with the given value.

Export allows the slave's values to be stored in an ASCII file in the form of master position, slave position, on one line each. The master position increment is specified in the master's property page.

Import allows files in the format just described to be read in. The values can then be displayed as cubic splines. The type of the spline still needs to be adjusted in the table, according to the values.

The Table Id provides a unique identifying number (1..255) for the table, with the aid of which the table data is stored in the NC. It can be changed to using a right mouse click in the menu

with the Change Id... command.

When uploading cyclic data, the period length of the master must match that of the loaded data. The master can be set to linear (non-cyclic) for direct data checking.

Export Slave... allows the data from a movement diagram to be saved in an export file (*.tce). This data can be imported again under a master.
