Export Sequence to ASCII File


Export an entire axis sequence to the Clipboad or ASCII text file.  Export a sequence so that the data can be opened and manipulated by other programs including a spreadsheet.

Note that all moves are broken down into segments and all move configuration data such as motion rules, S-curving percentage, and the Time/speed, Time/distance, Distance/speed move types are lost.  To preserve the moves and their configuration data, see Save Sequence.

To export a sequence to an ASCII file or the Clipboard, select ‘Sequence > Export’ in the menu as shown.

 

Specify the file format including if the first line is to include the header. Specify the delimiter and decimal, as well as the units for each data column. The table can be copied to the clipboard or saved directly to a text file.

-12
Polynomial 5th Order
-13
Polynomial 7th Order
-14
Modified Sine
-15
Modified Trapezoid
-16
