Using Pro-Motion

3.2.2 Step #1a: General Settings: Time Units
Pro-Motion can allow a motion engineer to work in time units other than motion processor cycles.
The program automatically converts data values to cycles before transmitting them to the processor.
3.2.3 Step #1b: General Settings: Scale Settings
Pro-Motion can allow a motion engineer to specify distance and angle values in real world units other than
encoder counts or motor steps. The software translates these values into counts or steps using the scaling
information supplied in this dialog before transmission to the motion processor. For example, a motor
speed in a motion profile can be specified in terms of revolutions per second using the rotary scaling feature.
