Slave Start: The first segment starts at slave position 0. Each

subsequent segment starts at the position at which the previous
segment ended. The slave position is defined in terms of
position user units.

Slave End: Specifies the slave position at the end of the

segment.

Master Step: Specifies the distance required between the

points that are interpolated between the start and end points.
The greater the step size, the lower the resolution will be. When
the start and end points are to be joined simply by a straight

line, set Master Step to the distance between the start and end
points, as no points need be interpolated between them.

Curve Shape: Specifies whether the start and end points of the

segment are to be joined by a straight line, by a portion of a
sinusoidal graph, or by a user-defined array.

4.9.4.3. Defining the Master and Slave End Points

To define the master and slave end points of each
segment that makes up the profile:

1. Enter the master position (in terms of encoder counts or

clock pulses) at the end of the first segment in the Master

End field.

2. Enter the slave position (in position user units) at the end of

the first segment in the Slave End field.

4.9.4.4. Defining the Segment Resolution

The resolution is set by specifying the distance between successive
points in the segment.

To set the resolution:

1. Enter the distance (in encoder counts or clock pulses)

between the points that FlexWorks should generate by
interpolation in the Master Step field. A lower setting will
result in more points being generated and in a smoother
motion.
