Y-axis Values

There are Four Motion-Derivatives.

Note: Only the Flexible Polynomial can directly edit all of the motion-derivatives. There are limits with the other motion-laws.

Position(P), Velocity(V), Acceleration(A), and Jerk(J).

Two Motion-Values (for each Motion-Derivative) :

End (motion-value) of Previous Segment (Read-Only or Read-Write)

E.g. In the image above, the motion-value at the:

End Position of the Previous-Segment = 10mm

Start (motion-value) of the Selected-Segment (Read-Only or Read-Write)

E.g. In the image above, the motion-value at the:

Start Position of the Selected-Segment = 30mm

These data-boxes have two possible states: Read-Only or Read-Write

The Motion-Law, Motion-Derivative and the Control-Buttons determine the state of the two data-boxes.

Three Control Buttons (for each Motion-Derivative) :

End Control Button - to control if you can specify the motion-value at the End of the Previous-Segment.

This button has three(3) possible states - Do Edit, Do Not Edit, and Can Not Edit

Match Control Button - to control flow of motion-values from the Previous-Segment to the Selected-Segment .

This button has two(2) possible states -

Do Force Start of the Selected-Segment = End of the Previous-Segment

Do NOT Force Start of the Selected-Segment = End of the Previous-Segment

Start Control Button - to control if you can specify the motion-value at the Start-of the Selected-Segment.

It has three(3) possible states - Do Edit, Do Not Edit, and Can Not Edit

In this example, the states of the 3 Control-Buttons for Position are:

	EDIT the motion-value ...at END Position of Previous-Segment
	DO NOT force the start Position to equal the end Position
	EDIT the motion-value ...at START Position of the Selected-Segment
