Frequency/Time/Rate Specifies the amount of time that will elapse between each segment or cycle.
This may be specified as frequency (Hz), time (seconds), or rate (units/sec).
Rate is not available for phase profiles.
Count Specifies the number of cycles or segments run in the row.
Shape Specifies the way in which the actuator makes transitions between end levels.
Square—Creates square waves that travel between end levels L1 and L2.
Ramp—Creates triangle waves that travel between end levels L1 and L2.
Sine—Creates sine waves that travel between end levels L1 and L2.
True Sine—Creates sine waves that travel between the mean of end levels L1
and L2.
Square Tapered—Creates square waves that taper up from 0% to 100%
amplitude at the beginning, travel between end levels L1 and L2, and taper
down from 100%-0% at the end.
Ramp Tapered—Creates triangle waves that taper up from 0-100% amplitude
at the beginning, travel between end levels L1 and L2, and taper down from
100%-0% at the end.
Sine Tapered—Creates sine waves that taper up from 0%-100% amplitude at
the beginning, travel between end levels L1and L2, and taper down from
100%-0% at the end.
True Sine Tapered—Creates sine waves that, starting from the mean of the
amplitude, taper up from 0%-100% amplitude at the beginning, travel between
end levels L1and L2, and taper down from 100%-0% at the end, returning to
mean.
