• (10+) Error
Values of 10 and above will indicate various errors. When an
error code is set in this register, it indicates that the command
is done trying to process this Curve Data, but the curve was not
submitted to the curve store. See the Curve Status Error Codes
topic for details.
1 Format This register is set by the user and indicates the format of the curve
data structure that follows. The following formats are defined:
(0) Single Curve - Evenly-Spaced Points
In this format, the points are assumed to be evenly spaced along
the X axis. Therefore, the X
0
and X Interval are specified, but
otherwise, just an array of Y values is included.
(1) Single Curve - Variable-Spaced Points
In this format, the points are each given independent X and Y
values, allowing variable spacing.
(2) Single Curve - Advanced Points
This format expands on the Variable-Spaced Points format by
allowing the velocity to be set at any point, and constant-velocity
segments to be specified.
The Multiple Curve Formats allow multiple curves will be added at
once. The user need only issue one Curve Add command and check
a single Status register and know that all the curves have been
successfully submitted.
(10) Multiple Curves - Evenly-Spaced Points
In this format, the points are assumed to be evenly spaced along
the X axis. Therefore, the X
0
and X Interval are specified, but
otherwise, just an array of Y values is included.
(11) Multiple Curves - Variable-Spaced Points
In this multiple curve format, the points are each given independent
X and Y values, allowing variable spacing.
(12) Multiple Curves - Advanced Points
This multiple curve format expands on the Variable-Spaced Points
format by allowing the velocity to be set at any point, and constant-
velocity segments to be specified.
The partial curve formats are for adding a curve that is too large to
submit all at once, and is described in detail in the Creating Large
Curves using the Curve Add Command topic.
(20) Partial Curve - Evenly-Spaced Points
In this format, the points are assumed to be evenly spaced along
the X axis. Therefore, the X
0
and X Interval are specified, but
otherwise, just an array of Y values is included.
(21) Partial Curve - Variable-Spaced Points
In this partial curve format, the points are each given independent X
