5.4.3.7

Export Cam as ASCII Table
This command can be used to export the current cam as an ASCII text file. The number of

points can be specified. The start and end point always will be included as the first and last

point respectively. A text file with the following structure will be created:
<Master position>;<Slave position><CR><LF>
The resulting text file can, for example, be imported into other programs and used for drive

dimensioning.

5.4.3.8

Import Cam from ASCII Table
This function can be used to import cam tables stored as ASCII files in the following format:
<Master position>;<Slave position>
Please note that the points are sorted in ascending order relative to the master position.
Once the cam has been imported successfully, the user can make the corresponding name,

interval and scaling settings in the properties dialog. After this, the number of

interpolation points can be reduced.
