♦ 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.
