The Curve Tool in RMCWin is used to view and edit spline curves that can then be run on the RMC. Spline curves are defined by a sequence of points. Each point is a position that the axis must be at when a certain time is reached. These times can be actual time or they can be based on the position of a master axis. The RMC then generates a smooth curve that fits through this sequence of points. With the introduction of Enhanced curves (requires RMC CPU firmware dated 20010208 or newer), the user has more control over how the RMC generates this curve. For example, individual line segments can be made linear, and the velocity can be set to an exact value at each point.
For more information on spline curves, see the Spline Overview topic.
