Curve Tool: Curve Properties and Editing Options

The General tab of the Options dialog box allows you to view or change curve properties and editing options.

To view or change these options:

On the Tools menu, click Options.
Click the General tab.
Change any options on this page.
Click OK.

The General tab has the following settings:

Axis Settings

This section has several settings for each axis. Axes that cannot have curves—such as axes that do not exist in the current RMC configuration and auxiliary pressure axes—will be unavailable. The following settings are available for each axis:

Axis Labels (Time and Position)

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. See Curve Axis Labels for details.

Limits (Speed and Accel)

Each axis has a maximum speed and acceleration. Use these text boxes to change these limits. For details on these values, see Curve Limits.

Enhanced Curve

Use the check boxes in this column to select whether the curve on the given axis is Standard or Enhanced. See Standard vs. Enhanced Curves for details.

Auto Repeat

These checkboxes enable or disable the Auto Repeat feature for the curve on each axis. This feature is only available for Enhanced curves. See Auto Repeat Curves for details.

Editing Options

The following options apply to editing all curves:

Enforce Axis Limits

Check this box to enforce extend, retract, velocity, acceleration, and time (or master position) difference limits when editing curves in the Graph view. See Enforcing Limits for details.

Link Curves Together

Check this box to link together points with identical time (or master position) values on all visible axes. This feature is useful when the curves from two or more axes need to be synchronized. See Linking Curves for details.
