Note: The X-axis is below the bottom graph. All the graphs have the same X-axis values.

STEP 1: Make the second segment the Selected-Segment

1.Click above or below (not on*) the graph of the second segment.

2.Look at the Motion-Law Selector - the second segment is Flexible-Polynomial

* If you click on the graph, the Segment-Editor opens. We want to use the Blend-Point Editor.

Terminology - see image below.

Selected-Segment: The segment that you click.

Previous-Segment: One segment to the LEFT of the Selected-Segment

Active Blend-Point: Blend-Point at the LEFT of the Selected Segment

Next-Segment: One segment to the Right of the Selected-Segment

STEP 1.Open the Blend-Point Editor.

Click Blend-Point & Segment toolbar > Blend-Point Editor

Note: Re-size the Blend-Point Editor when you open it the first time.

STEP 2.Edit the X-axis value

1.If needed, click the X-axis Values separator to show the X-axis data-box

2.Use the Spin-Box to increase the X-axis value from 90º to 120º

or

2.Use your keyboard to enter 120, and press the ENTER key on your keyboard

Notes: See image below

Segment-Width of the Previous-Segment is 30º more

Segment-Width of the Selected-Segment is 30º less

Previous Segment-Width + Selected Segment-Width does not change.

and the Motion-Width does not change.

The image shows the software link:

•from the X-axis value in the Blend-Point Editor

•to the X-axis value of the Active Blend-Point in the motion graph area.

In the Blend-Point Editor - you will see you can edit the End-Position

This is Position (mm) at the End of Previous-Segment.

STEP 1.Edit the Position  

1.If necessary, click the Y-axis Values separator to show the data-boxes

2.Use the spin-box (see note below if you do not see the Spin-Box) to decrease the Position value from 90 to 70

OR

2.Enter 70 with your keyboard, and also press the ENTER key on your keyboard

Note: If the Spin-Box tool is not to the right-side of any of the motion-value data box, then

Double-click in the data-box, maybe two times, until the Spin-Box shows.

See image below

Control Buttons in the Blend-Point Editor.

End Position Control-Button is active.

- we can edit the Position at the End the Previous-Segment.

Match Control Button is active (for Position graph)

- the Start of the Selected-Segment MUST EQUAL End of the Previous-Segment.

Start Position Control-Button is not active (it is Grey)

- because the Match Control Button is active, the Start-Position is Read-Only, because it must equal the End-Position

In the Blend-Point Editor - you will see you can edit the End-Velocity

This is the Velocity (mm) at the End of Previous-Segment.

STEP 1.Edit the Velocity  

1.If necessary, click the Y-axis Values separator to show the data-boxes

2.Use the spin-box, to increase the Velocity value from 0 to 200mm/s

OR

2.Enter 200 with your keyboard, and also press the ENTER key on your keyboard

Note: If the Spin-Box tool is not to the right-side of any of the motion-value data box, then

Double-click in the data-box, maybe two times, until the Spin-Box shows.

Notes: See image below

The Velocity Control-Buttons are identical to the Position Control-Buttons

End Velocity Control-Button is active.

We can edit the Velocity at the End the Previous-Segment.

Match Control Button is active (for Velocity graph)

Start of the Selected-Segment MUST EQUAL End of the Previous-Segment.

Start Velocity Control-Button is Not Active (Grey)

The Start-Velocity is Read-Only, because it must equal the End-Velocity.

In the Blend-Point Editor - you will see you can edit the End-Acceleration

This is the Acceleration (mm) at the End of Previous-Segment.

STEP 1.Edit the Acceleration  

1.If necessary, click the Y-axis Values separator to show the data-boxes

2.Use the spin-box, to increase the Velocity value from 0 to –4000mm/s

( or enter 200, and press the ENTER key on your keyboard )

Notes: See image below

The Acceleration Control-Buttons are identical to the Velocity and Position Control-Buttons

End Acceleration Control-Button is active.

We can edit the Acceleration at the End the Previous-Segment.

Match Control Button is active (for Acceleration graph)

Start of the Selected-Segment MUST EQUAL End of the Previous-Segment.

Start Acceleration Control-Button is Not Active (Grey)

The Start-Acceleration is Read-Only, because it must equal the End-Acceleration.
