Tools | Data Transfer | Get Motion Data

Short Cut: Use the icon found in the Data Transfer form.

This function copies all of the data values of the graphs showing into the cells of the Data Transfer "worksheet".  

The number of data rows and data points will be equivalent to the  Number-of-Steps  in the Motion form of the Settings dialogue. 
The number format of the data will be the same as that given in the Data Format form of the Settingsdialogue.
The data units will be same as set in the X-Units and Y-Units boxes in the Motion form of the Settings dialogue. 
The number of data columns will always include the X data as the first column (which is equivalent to the cam-angle or time etc) PLUS the data for the graphs you are showing at the time you use this function.
.
This data is listed, therefore, for up to 5 columns:
  • The column labelled X is the X-axis data.  
  • The column labelled Pos. is the Position data. 
  • The column labelled Vel is the Velocity data. 
  • The column labelled Acc is the Acceleration data.  
  • The column labelled Jer is the Jerk data.

    Again, if you are not showing a particular graph, then the data for that graph will not be transferred.
