Z-Raw-Data is a List Segment-Type.
The Z-Raw-Data is a segment that uses the Data-Transfer Table to import your data as the motion-values.

STEP 1.Import your data to the Data-Transfer Table
1.Use the Motion-Law Selector to select Z-RAW-DATA for a segment. 2.Open the Data-Transfer Table 3.Click the cell at the left and top row (cell equivalent to A1) of the Data-Transfer Table to make it the active cell. To import your data to into the Data-Transfer Table. 4.Do: a.Copy and Paste your data into the Data-Transfer Table or do: a.Open a CSV, TXT or DAT (Camlinks based) file or do: a.Get Motion-Values from a different motion or segment Note: In your original data, include as many decimal points as possible. |
The data is now in the Data-Transfer Table
STEP 2.Move your data to the Z-Raw-Data segment from the Data-Transfer Table
1.Click the Pos header in the Data-Transfer Table to select the column of data 2.Click Put List Data in the Data-Transfer Table toolbar. To move a sub-section of the data: 1.Click the first data point you want in move to the Z-Raw-Data 2.SHIFT + Click the last data point you want to move to the Z-Raw-Data 3.Click Put List Data in the Data-Transfer Table toolbar Note : Get Data and Put Data icons show only when the segment is a List Segment-Type Data-Transfer Table toolbar |
The data is a plot in the Z-Raw Data segment in the motion graph.
Result: MotionDesigner :
•Does nothing if you select less than 5 data-points. MotionDesigner tells you to select more data-points! •Transforms the data to calculate motion-values that coincide with the motion-values in the segment. •Numerically differentiates the data to create Position, Velocity, Acceleration, and the Jerk motion-values. In the Data-Transfer Table: •You can use the Get Motion Data button or the Get Segment Data button to get the new Position, Velocity, Acceleration, and Jerk motion-values that MotionDesigner has calculated for you from your data. •When the segment is a List Segment-Type, you can use the Get List Data button to move the original data back to the table. |
