If selected, the activity reads the current command
value on each channel when the activity runs. These Relative Time
Signal
commands are added to each point in the time history
as it is read from its file and the modified command
is played out. With this feature you can preload a
channel and then play out the time history relative to
that pre-loaded value. If not checked, the time history
will be played out as stored in the disk file.
When enabled and relative mode are not selected,
the activity will start by ramping to the first command Drive Has An
Offset
point in the time history and end at the last command
point in the time history, without returning to zero.
When enabled and relative mode are selected, the
activity will start by ramping to the first command
point in the time history, and will end by returning to
the starting point after the last specified pass is
completed.
Note:
The command signal will not return to zero (or
to the starting point in relative mode) between
files in the sequence, but will transition directly
between the last command point of one drive
file and the first command point of the following
drive file.
If available, select a compensator from the drop-down
list to enhance performance and optimize system
response. Compensator

file channel. When a drive file is read, the application Test Channel

the name of the testchannel. If it does, the application
maps that file channel to the matching test channel.
