The Z-Raw-Data, Position List, or Acceleration List segment types are those you can Import your own data. As with all motion-laws or segment-types, this segment can be the only segment in the motion, and also any of the segments in a multi-segment motion. To Import you own motion data: 1.Select a Motion name-tab 2.Use the Motion-Law Selector to make the segment a Z-Raw-Data (or Position List, or Acceleration List). In the image below: there is only one segment. The X-axis range is from 0 to 360. Your motion may have one or many Z-Raw Data segments that complete the motion, and optionally, it may be mixed with segments that have different motion-laws. 3.Click the Z-Raw-Data segment in the graph area 4.Open the Data-Transfer Table 5.Select the top, left cell in the Data-Transfer Table. 6.Cut & Paste data to the Data-Transfer Table from, a Graph FB, NotePad®, Excel®, a TXT, or ASC file-type. The data must be as columns of data. In the Data-Transfer Table: To select all of data: 6.Click the Header of the Column with the data you want to import OR - To select a sub-set of the data: 6.Click the first data-point in the column of data 7.SHIFT+ Click the last data-point in the column of data 8.Click the Put Data to List Segment in the Data-Transfer Toolbar ![]() Put Data to List Segment |
