Creating a Cam Table

There are two basic methods of creating cam files, externally and
internally. The cam data must be loaded into the motion engine before it
can be used. When cam data is loaded with either the Y_CamFileSelect or
Y_CamStructSelect function blocks, a CamTableID is returned, which will
be used by other camming blocks to reference the cam table. Many cam
tables may be loaded into the Motion Memory. There is no specific limit on
the number of files that can be loaded, the limit is available memory based
on each table size. The following graphic provides an explanation of these
to file loading methods.
