Version: 1.0.0

Once you have recorded and saved a show, it can be replayed through the 'test' tab.


In the drop-down menu at the top of the tab, you can select which show you would like to replay. You can also choose which axes you wish to run by checking the box for the applicable axes.

Below each axis, you can select which graphs to display:

Show Imported

If you have imported show data from a CSV file, this will display the graph of the imported data.

Show Recorded

This will display the graph of the recorded show data.

Show Spline

This will display the software generated spline data. This spline is interpolated using the recorded or imported data. This will be the actual path the motor will follow.

Position

Display the actual position of the motor, as it follows the output spline. This will display an indicator on the spline graph to show where the motor currently is in the show, and will trace out the motors path in real time.

Speed

Graph the motors actual speed. This will open a separate graph window which will display the graph of the motors speed as the show is run.

Torque

Graph the motors actual torque. This will open a separate graph window which will display the graph of the motors torque as the show is run.

Run Settings

Stream

If stream is selected, the show data will be streamed to the motor from contours. No data is saved on the motor in this case.

Motor Memory

Selecting the motor memory option will play whatever show is currently stored in the motor.

The show saved in the motor may not match the show selected in contours. In this case, the displayed position data may not match the spline.


When you are ready to run the show, you can select the start button. The show will then run to completion, or until the stop button is pressed.
