In the following sections all segment types are described in more detail. The description
contains guidelines for using the segments and what parameters can be modified. Furthermore
a list of specific variables depending on the different segment types is given out.
The units of parameters refer to the controller internal motion generator. The following
abbreviations are used in the description:
P: Position
$: Variable
V: Velocity
nn
: Segment number: 01 to 100 is possible
A: Acceleration
[...]: Parameters not alterable
J: Jerk
$MM
