velocity( i.e.: the moving distance is too small to reach max_vel), the 
maximum velocity is automatically lowered and 
smooth accel./decel. is made (see the following Figure). This means that 
with moves that don’t reach maximum velocity may cause longer than 
expected move times. In such a case, the smaller the moving distance, the 
shorter the linear accel./decel. section becomes and the S-curve section is 
not reduced unless the linear section is decreased to 0. 
The following two graphs show the results of experiments after executing 
the unsymmetrical absolute S-curve motion command. Graph1 is the typical 
result. of S-curve velocity profile. Graph2 is obtained when the amount of 
command pulses is failed to let the velocity reach the designated maximum 
velocity. The PCI-8134/PCI-8134A automatically lower the maximum 
velocity thus provide a smooth velocity profile. 
Command of Graph1:
start_tas_move(axis, 500000, 100, 1000000, 0.05, 0.05, 0.2, 0.2);
