Figure 16-21. Inserting a Point in the Profile Editor Window

Since the Slave Position end point is the same value (0) as the initial Slave Position point, this

CAM meets the requirements for a Linear Cyclic CAM. (If desired, refer to Section 2 for more

information on the different CAM types.) Note that the CAM Editor has several “Smart” edit

fields that will ONLY display the choices that are valid for a given data set. For example, since a

requirement for a Linear Cyclic CAM is that the Slave Position start point and Slave Position end

point are the same, the editor only allows the Linear Cyclic CAM choice if this criteria is met.

Next, we are going to insert a new point into the profile and then edit the point. The point can be

edited either in the profile table or graphically on the plot. Insert the point as shown above and in

Figure 16-22 and Figure 16-23 by right-clicking the point below the insertion position and selecting

Insert Point from the menu. Then change the default values to 2500 for the Master and 10000 for

the Slave.
