D3PLOT CURVE
This function enables user to create and edit the D3plot curve which is used to control the output frequency of the D3plot file. The D3PLOT CURVE dialog box as illustrated in Figure 11.13.20 is displayed.
NOTE: The D3plot Curve function is available only in Traditional Setup and the Quick Setup (QS).

CREATE D3PLOT CURVE
If no D3plot curve is defined in database, the user can use this function to create a new D3plot curve. The D3plot File Number dialog box is displayed after the user selected the CREATE D3PLOT CURVE function. The user can input the Number of the D3plot file in the input filed. The default number is 20.
Figure 11.13.21 Define the D3plot file number
The user can click on the OK button to accept the number of D3plot file or clicking on the Back button or Cancel button to exit the D3PLOT FILE NUMBER dialog box.
NOTE: After input the number of D3plot file, the program calculates the time interval and creates a D3plot curve automatically.
MODIFY D3PLOT CURVE
If a D3plot curve is defined in database, the user can edit this curve through the MODIFY D3PLOT CURVE function. If more than one D3plot curves are defined in database, only the last defined D3plot curve can be edited. The dialog box is show in Figure11.13.22.
Figure 11.13.22 D3PLOT curve edit dialog box
By default, the D3plot curve is edited through modifying the displacement of the moving tool. Alternatively, the D3plot curve can be edited through modifying the time interval of every D3plot file.
NOTE: The moving tools are related to the setting of Draw Type. If the Draw Type is set as Single Action, the moving tool is the DIE. If the Draw Type is set as Double Action, the moving tool is the PUNCH. The user can change the Draw Type from the menu Tools/Analysis Setup.
BY DISPLACE:This option enables user to edit the D3plot curve through modifying the displacement of the moving tool.
BY TIME:This option enables user to edit the D3plot curve through modifying the time of the moving tool.
FROM TOP:This option is used usually with the BY DISPLACE option. If this option is toggled on, the displacement means from begin to the current position. If this option is toggle off, the displacement means from the current position to the close position.
APPLY:Accept the modification.
OK:Exit the D3plot dialog box and accept the modification.
CANCEL:Exit the D3plot dialog box without saving.
