Two Motion-Values Red-14-1 Red-14-2 (for each Motion-Derivative).

It is important to know that there are two motion-values at a Blend-Point. There is a motion-value at the:

•End of the Previous-Segment

AND

•Start of the Selected-Segment.

Also, because there are four motion-derivatives, there is a total of eight (8) motion-values at each Blend-Point.

Y-axis Values

In the image above, the two motion-values relate to the Position motion-derivative only.

End Position (of the Previous Segment) = 10mm

Start Position (of the Selected-Segment) = 30mm

You can see the two motion-values in the position plot and in the End Position Red-14-1 and Start Position Red-14-2 data-boxes.

Note: the Start Position and end-Position are usually forced to equal each other - see Control-Buttons, below.

Control Buttons (for each Motion-Derivative) :

End Control button - to control the motion-value at the End of the Previous-Segment.

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

Match Control button - to control the flow of motion-values from the end of the Previous-Segment to the Start of the Selected-Segment.

This control-button has two(2) 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 the motion-value at the Start-of the Selected-Segment.

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

In this example, the state of the three Control-Buttons for the Position motion-derivative are:

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