Table Window

The values for the movement section are displayed in the table window:

Table Window 1:

Table header

Description

Function

Indicates the function type (see function types)

Velocity

absolute velocity value

Velocity [%]

percentage velocity value

Voltage [%]

percentage voltage

Range

absolute value of the transition range

Range[%]

percentage value of the transition range

The values can be changed through the keyboard. The percentage and absolute values are directly connected, so that changing one of them leads to an immediate corresponding change in the other (once the return key has been pressed or the box has been left).

Function Types

In addition to the standard types (synchronous/automatic), which can be changed by command on the graph, the function type can also be modified in the combobox. When the combobox - or a field in the first column - is first clicked, a rectangle is temporarily shown in the position window, with the initial and end points of the section at its corners. As soon as another field in the table window is activated, either the rectangle for this one is shown, or no rectangle is displayed at all.

Table Window 2:

The types correspond to those of VDI Guideline 2143; additionally, there are the cubic splines, with the boundary conditions of natural, tangential and periodical.

Type

Description

Boundary condition

Synchronous

Synchronous movement (constant transmission ratio between slave and master, corresponds to normalised velocity)

Constant velocity v, acceleration a=0

Automatic

Automatic adaptation to the boundary values (velocity, acceleration)

Spline

Internal section of a cubic spline

Spline Natural

Initial or end section of a natural cubic spline

a=0

Spline Tangential

Initial or end section of a tangential cubic spline

Spline Periodic

Initial or end section of a cyclic cubic spline

Changing the type of spline at the first point implies that the spline type as a whole is changed, including that of the end point.
