You can see up to four graphs in MotionDesigner: Position, Velocity, Acceleration, and Jerk -  the four important motion-derivatives.

Use the View Toolbar > P, V, A, & J icons to show or hide a graph of each motion-derivative.

You must show a minimum of one graph.

You should understand:

X–axis

The X-axis units and Motion-Width of each Motion can be different.

Typically, the X-axis units are degrees and the Motion-Width is 360 degrees - equal to the Master Machine Angle in MechDesigner.

Other units for the X-axis are: radians, cycles*, seconds, milliseconds - see Edit toolbar > Active Motion Settings / Configure Motion

* We use Machine Settings > Cycles/Minute to control the time period of one cycle.

Each motion-derivative is the same motion.

We show for you the motion-derivative of the same motion above each other.

If you edit a motion-setting in one motion-derivative, you automatically change the shape of the other motion-derivatives.

Split the motion into Segments

It is easier to design a motion when you split it into segments.

Each segment has a Motion-Law.

You can change the Motion-Law for each segment, with the Motion-Law Selector  - a drop-down box below the graph-area..

However, too many segments are sometimes difficult to manage.

Blend-Points join the segments

Blend-Points join the segments end-to-end.

Blend-Points are also called Nodes.

Names we use in this help for Segments:

•Selected-Segment - the segment that you click, it has a different color

•Previous-Segment - one segment before (to the left) the Selected-Segment

•Next-Segment - one segment after (to the right) of the Selected-Segment

•First-segment - the segment at the start of the motion - see Blend-Point Editor > Motion-Start

•Last-Segment - the segment at the end of the motion

Notes:

The end of the Last-Segment is at the start of the First-Segment.

As soon as you click a different segment, it is the Selected-Segment
