Cam Profile Parameter: InterpType

Description

This parameter is used to define the interpolation style used to generate the positions which do no have to feature in the profile data.

The cubic interpolation algorithms force the first derivative of the points in the table to be continuous, where the first derivative value at any point in the table matches the slope of a line segment between the previous point and the next point.

CAUTION

UNEXPECTED EQUIPMENT BEHAVIOR

Do not modify a profile, do not call the functions Configure, SetCoord, or SetInterpType while following is on in a FollowerSet which uses the CamProfile.

Failure to follow these instructions can result in injury or equipment damage.

Associated Functions

The associated functions of this parameter are:

GetInterpType which sends a read request for the actual interpolation style,
SetInterpType which sends a write request for the new interpolation style.

These functions use the WRITE_CMD instruction.
