CAM table properties:
In Properties window, you can adjust the properties regarding CAM table. For example, the starting and ending
position of master and slave, periodic parameters setups, required curve continuation and editing formats.

Steps on using E-CAM:
1. CAM table configuration: setup master range, slave range, create starting point, ending point and other critical
points as well as curve type adjustments.
2. Use instruction MC_CamTableSelect to connect configured CAM table with the actual one and receive CAM
ID to be used for later instructions.
3. After receiving CAM ID, use instruction MC_CamIn to execute engagement for assigned master and slave.
4. Use instruction MC_Camout for the master and slave relationship disengagement. For synchronous movement,
use instruction MC_Stop and MC_Halt on slave axis for disengaging synchronous relation between master and
slave.

Switching of CAM tables:
When CAM table is operating, please refer to MC_CAM_REF for switching the CAM table of MC_CamTableSelect.
