Motion Cycle Data Number-of-Steps [ default = 360 ; most applications.] The number-of-points along each motion graph.
Note: The Sweep Display will not advance past pen-ultimate [last – 1] point. We use functions with explicit equations to evaluate the exact motion-values at any X-axis value. Cycles / Min [ Read-Only ] RPM : actual machine cycles in one minute. See: MechDesigner>Edit menu>Machine Settings>Cycling Parameters>Cycles/Min Seconds / Cycle [ Read-Only ] Seconds / Cycle = 60 / Cycles/Min |
|||||||||
Motion Units X–axis Units: [ default = degrees ] Units available: counts: sec, msec, cycle, degree, radian. Y–axis Units: [ default = degrees or mm ] Units available: mm, cm, m, inch, degree, radian, cycle, count
Note: The size of the motion does not change. E.g. 90mm becomes 0.090m or 3.543inches. |
