Can cam profiles be calculated using a formula in the MW+ program when com-
pile & downloading a new cam profile is not an option?
Yes. It is possible to write directly to the cam table from within MotionWorks+. The table

You must first create a table using CAM TOOL, and it must be at least as large as the data
points you will calculate in MW+. Even if you intend to calculate your own cam table,
you must still select a CAM type table.
The following is an example of the cam calculations of a subroutine called “ReCalc.”
