Save the cam profile as a cdt or cdd file. Yaskawa recommends one of Cam Tool’s native file types so that
future edits are possible a later time using the Cam Tool application. The MPiec controller accepts csv files for
cam projects. Cam Tool can open a CSV file, however all curve type information will not be restored.
Note : CamTool versions prior to 4.61 do not write a csv file that can be accepted by the MPiec controller.
Yaskawa recommends opening and resaving the file in Microsoft Wordpad or Notepad to store the file as 8 bit
ASCII, not Unicode ASCII.
