New Parameters to Output Trajectory in SMARTElectrode

Example

In the assembly shown, an electrode is used at two positions (1). The approach vector in the Y direction of the zero point is shown from the start position (2) to the end position (1). The new parameter rule &y_trajectory:endpos:startpos calculates the movement in the Y direction of the zero point. The values ​​+20.0 for the first and -20.0 for the second position are displayed in the burn list user interface:

Usage

1. Activate  Edit Parameter.
2. The dialog for the parameter configuration appears.
   
3. Activate the parameter rule for the selected parameter in the last column by double-clicking.
4. The user interface for editing the parameter rule appears. For rules of type Measure, the two option fields Reference and Measured By are activated.
   The following values ​​are available:
   • End Position
   • Start Position
   • Secure Position
5. The following rules are now available:
   
   • &x_trajectory
     To output the movement in the X direction.
   • &y_trajectory
     To output the movement in the Y direction.
   • &z_trajectory
     To output the movement in the Z direction.
   • &a_trajectory
     To output the rotation around the X axis.
   • &b_trajectory
     To output the rotation around the Y axis.
   • &c_trajectory
     To output the rotation around the Z axis.
   • General syntax of the parameter rule:
     &…_trajectory:<(1)to reference>:<(2)from reference>
     Calculates the incremental movement from coordinate system (2) to coordinate system (1) relative to the zero point.
6. Confirm changes with OK or close dialog without saving with Cancel.
