Curve Tool: Curve Axis Labels

Any text can be typed into these labels for Time and Position. These labels are used whenever the curve tool refers to one of these dimensions. For example, the Detail window, data tips, and the Point Properties dialog box all use these labels.

By default these labels are Time (sms) and Pos (pu). These labels work well if the curve will be followed with respect to time and not geared to another axis. In this case, sms refers to short milliseconds. There are 1024 sms in one second. This term is used because the RMC's control loop is processed 1024 times per second.

If the curve will be followed with respect to another axis, then the default labels do not work as well. In that case, labels such as Master Pos (pu) and Slave Pos (pu) more accurately describe the situation.

To change a curve's axis labels:

On the Tools menu, click Options.
Click the General tab.
Find the text boxes on the row of the axis you want to change under the columns labeled Axis Labels, Time and Position.
Type the labels you want to use in these text boxes.
Click OK.
