You can use Z-Raw-Data, Position List, and Acceleration List to import data as a motion.

1.Select a Motion name-tab

2.Use the Motion-Law Selector to select Position-List (or Z-Raw Data, or Acceleration List)

Note:

In the instructions below, we will use a Position List segment.

There are three steps you must do to import data.

STEP 1: Get data in the Data-Transfer Table

1.Open the Data-Transfer Table

2.Select the top, left cell in the Data-Transfer Table

You need at least one column of data of at least 6 points.

Either:

3.Cut & Paste data to the Data-Transfer Table from a Graph FB, NotePad®, Excel®, ...

or

3.Open a TXT or CSV file-type.

The data is now in the Data-Transfer Table.

There should not be any empty-cells in sequence of data you want to import.

STEP 2: Select data

To select all of the data in a column.

1.Click the header (usually the Pos header) for the column of cells you want to use in the Position-List segment

Or, to select a shorter sequence of data (you must select a minimum of 6 cells):

1.Click the first data-point in the column of data you want to import

2.SHIFT+ Click the last data-point you want to use, in the same column of data

STEP 3: Post the data to the Position-List segment

1.Select the Position List segment in the motion graphs

2.Click the icon Put Data to List Segment in the Data-Transfer Table toolbar

Put Data to List Segment

The data is now uploaded to the Position-List segment

Position-List

After you Put data to a List Segment type - a Z-Raw-Data segment in image - we do for you the following:

If you post less than 5 points, we:

•Instruct you to select more than 5 points from your data.

When you post more than 5 points, we:

•Create points in proportion to the segment-width and the number of motion-points as specified in the Active-Motion-Settings dialog.

•Numerically differentiate the data to calculate Velocity, Acceleration, and Jerk values for their motion-graphs.
