Point-Data FB
Add a Point-Data FB to measure the motion of a Point, with respect to the Base-Part.
Its three output-connectors give, with respect to the Mechanism Plane, the Point's:
➔motion-values parallel to the X-axis
➔motion-values parallel to the Y-axis
➔Magnitude of the motion-values equal to:
o√(X2 + Y2)
Note: Motion-Values include the Position, Velocity, and Acceleration of the Point.

To use the Point-Data FB
How to Use : |
Connect a wire from its output-connector to the input-connector of a Graph FB - plot the Position, Velocity and Acceleration of the Point in the X and Y–axis directions - see also: Top-Tip Connect a wire from its output-connector to the input-connector of a Motion FB - use the motion of the Point as the independent (X-axis) for a Motion. |

Top-Tip : |
To plot the three motion-derivatives of the same motion-value e.g. Position, Velocity, and Acceleration in one Graph 1.Drag three times from one output-connector to three different input-connectors of a Graph FB 2.Use the Y–axis display options in the Graph dialog-box to select each motion-derivatives. |
