IT (Independent Time Constant)
[Motion]
DESCRIPTION:
The IT command filters the acceleration and deceleration functions in independent moves of JG, PR, PA
type to produce a smooth velocity profile. The resulting profile, known as an S-curve, has continuous
acceleration and results in reduced mechanical vibrations. IT sets the bandwidth of the filter where 1 means
no filtering and 0.004 means maximum filtering. Note that the filtering results in longer motion time.
The use of IT will not effect the trippoints AR and AD. The trippoints AR and AD monitor the profile prior
to the IT filter and therefore can be satisfied before the actual distance has been reached if IT is NOT 1.
An IT value less then 1 will make the move longer. This can be compensated for by increasing the
acceleration and deceleration paraemters
ARGUMENTS: IT x, y, z, w or ITX=x or IT a, b, c, d, e, f, g, h where
n is a positive number with a resolution of 1/256
