Parameters

Pitch error compensation parameters are specified using the PitchErrorCompensationData class.

Parameter

Description

Pitch Origin Position

The command position at the pitch origin, in user units.

This value is specified as an absolute position unless the originPositionType option is changed to Relative.

Pitch Origin Index

The index of the pitch origin.

This value is an integer between 0 and Pitch Count - 1 that determines which index in the Pitch Compensation Value array corresponds to the pitch origin.

Pitch Interval

The distance between pitch points, in user units.

Pitch Interval Direction

If this value is set to 0 or 1, the values in the Pitch Compensation Value array are specified normally.

If this value is set to -1, the values in the Pitch Compensation Value array are specified in reverse order.

See the description for the Pitch Compensation Value.

Pitch Count

The number of pitch points. This value must be between 1 and maxPitchErrorCompPoints.

Pitch Compensation Value [maxPitchErrorCompPoints]

The offset at each pitch point, in user units.

Offsets are specified in the indices between 0 and Pitch Count - 1 in ascending order of the pitch point positions. If the Pitch Interval Direction is set to -1, offsets are specified in descending order of the pitch point positions.

The offset at the pitch origin is specified in the index equal to the Pitch Origin Index.

Edge Dropoff Distance

The distance beyond the first and last pitch points at which the offset reduces to 0, in user units. If this parameter is set to 0, the offset will not reduce to 0 at command positions beyond the first and last pitch points. Also see Edge Dropoff.

Free Position Mode Parameters

In Free Position Mode, pitch error compensation parameters are specified using the PitchErrorCompensationFreePositionData class.

Parameter

Description

Pitch Position [maxPitchErrorCompPoints]

The position of each pitch point, in user units.

Pitch positions must be specified in ascending order.

Pitch Count

The number of pitch points. This value must be between 2 and maxPitchErrorCompPoints.

Pitch Compensation Value [maxPitchErrorCompPoints]

The offset at each pitch point, in user units.

Each value corresponds to the Pitch Position at the same index.

Edge Dropoff Distance

The distance beyond the first and last pitch points at which the offset reduces to 0, in user units. If this parameter is set to 0, the offset will not reduce to 0 at command positions beyond the first and last pitch points. Also see Edge Dropoff.
