Motion: Default

The position, velocityand acceleration graphs are shown when a new motion is added or opened.

The default motion has 4 segments. Each segment has a start-Blend-Point and an end-Blend-Point

The first segment is a "rise" segment, where the position graph increases from a 0mm value to a value of 100mm.

The second segment is a "dwell", where the position graph stays at 100mm for a period.

The third segment is a "return" segment, where the position graph decreases from 100mm to 0mm.

The fourth segment is another "dwell" segment.

You will see that all the segments are the Flexible Polynomial Segment Type (click on the segments to highlight each in red).
You will also see that the motion is completed in 360 degrees along the X-Axis, with each segment having a Segment Width of  90 degrees

360 degrees represents a single machine cycle.
