Import Sequence from ASCII File

Import an entire axis sequence from the Clipboard or an ASCII text file. Note that only segments can be imported.

To import a sequence, select ‘Sequence > Import’ in the menu as shown.

First open the file to be imported or paste it from the Clipboard. Then specify data format criteria such as the delimiter and whether the first line contains header data, and therefore, should be ignored. The data table is automatically updated accordingly.

Notes:
1. The 'Type' column specifies the profile type. The profile type values are listed in the table below:

Value	Profile Description
-1	Linear with Jerk/S-Curve
-2	Sub-Segment Linear with Jerk/S-Curve
-10	Sinusoidal
-11	Cycloidal
-12	Polynomial 5th Order
-13	Polynomial 7th Order
-14	Modified Sine
-15	Modified Trapezoid
-16	Parabolic

2. The 'Start' column specifies if the segment is a starting or ending segment. It applies to asymmetrical profile types such as the Sub-Segment Linear, Modified Sine and Modified Trapezoid.

Value	Profile Description
-1	Start segment
0	End segment

3. When the data format is not compatible, cells are populated with -999999 indicating the location of the error.
