Sweep-Display

Use to evaluate exact motion-values at any X-axis value as defined by the Cursor-Position parameter. A vertical cursor shows at the X-axis value and Cursor-Position.

BUG: The Cursor does not sweep correctly when Motion-Start ≠ 0.

see Blend-Point Editor > X-axis Values > Motion-Start.

To open the Sweep-Display dialog:

1.Click Edit toolbar > Sweep-Display icon

Sweep-Display

Cursor Position: (read-write)

The X-axis value at which to evaluate exact motion-values.

Position, Velocity, Acceleration, Jerk (read-only)

The exact Position, Velocity, Acceleration, and Jerk motion-values at the X-axis value as defined by the Cursor-Position.

The advantage of the Sweep Display is that you can see a Cursor.

The advantage of the Motion-Value Evaluator is that you can enter an X-axis value greater than the last X-axis point - see Notes below.

Notes:

Edit Digits and Precision of the motion-values with:

Edit toolbar > Active Motion Settings > Number Format tab | Number-Format separator.

Maximum Cursor Position = Motion-Width – Number of Steps / Motion-Width.

For example: If Motion-Width = 360. and:

Number-of-Steps = 360; Maximum Cursor Position ≤ 359

Number-of-Steps = 3600; Maximum Cursor Position ≤ 359.9
