Sequence |
The Sequence form illustrates all move profiles within the cycle, referred to as the sequence of an axis. To coordinate between the timing of other axis moves, you may chart up to 6 profiles, from any axis, using the Configure Profiles form.

time will be displayed as ā100.12sā |
Select a Move/Segment, then click Edit at the top left of the form, or right-click on the selected step, and then select Insert, Append or Delete. How to insert a move before Step 2 is shown below.
The Split Segment feature splits the selected segment into N equal segments that equal the total distance and duration of the original segment. Poly 3/5/7 order segments are split into a continuous N segment spline. All other profile types, a Linear profile type with no jerk is used. Ie. A straight line.
To split a segment, select one segment, then right-click and select "Selection > Split Segment", and specify the number of segments.
To select the Group or Ungroup function, select a step, then click Edit at the top left of the form, or right-click on the selected step.
The Group function assembles four segments into one move. The four segments must be in the correct order. The first and third segments must have the same profile type with Accel <> 0, and the second and fourth segments must have Constant Velocity and Accel = 0. The Group function is available when the first segment is selected.
The Ungroup function breaks up a move into four segments - Accel, Constant Velocity, Decel and Dwell. Ungrouping allows for the editing of the individual segments.
The Group and Ungroup functions are illustrated below:
