Blend-Point Editor: Y-axis Values

It is important to know that the Blend-Point of each motion-derivative has two Y-axis motion-values Red-14-1 Red-14-2 . The two motion-values can be equal or different.

Each motion-derivative has a motion-value at the:

•End of the Previous-Segment Red-14-1

AND at the:

•Start of the Selected-Segment Red-14-2

Because there are four motion-derivatives, there are eight (8) motion-values at each Blend-Point.

Y-axis Values

Position Motion-Graph

Position motion-graph

The motion-graph of Position shows that the Blend-Point has two motion-values Red-14-1 Red-14-2 .

Position Motion-Values

The motion-values in the Y-axis separator of the Position motion-derivative are:

End Position (of the Previous-Segment) = 10mm

Start Position (of the Selected-Segment) = 30mm

How many Motion-Values at each Blend-Point?

In the Blend-Point Editor, there are two motion-values and data-boxes for each motion-derivative (P,V,A,J) to give 8 motion-values in total.

What determines the Rear-Write or Read-Only status of a Motion-Value?

Any of the motion-values may be read-write or read-only.

Control-Buttons, the Motion-Law, and the motion-derivative, determine the read-write or read-only status of each motion-value.

Position Control Buttons

See more at Control Buttons: States and Patterns

The Control-Buttons for the Position motion-derivative allows you to edit the two motion-values.

End Control button in the Do Edit state.

You can edit the motion-value at the End of the Previous-Segment.

This control-button has three(3) states - Do Edit, Do Not Edit, and Can Not Edit

Match Control button in the Do Not Match state

The End-Position and the Start-Position motion-values can be different.

This control-button has two(2) states - Do Match and Do NOT Match

Start Control button - in the Do Edit state.

You can edit the motion-value at the Start of the Selected-Segment.
