♦ Segment#: Each segment is automatically assigned a number.
♦ Master Start: The first segment starts at master position 0. Each
subsequent segment starts at the position at which the previous
segment ended. The master position is defined in terms of master
encoder counts.
♦ Master End: Specifies the master position at the end of the segment.
If a time based profile is being created, Master End specifies the time at
which the segment ends. For example, if the segment is to span 100
ms, the difference between the Start and End values must be 800 ms
as the clock generates eight pulses per millisecond.
♦ Slave Start: The first segment starts at slave position 0. Each
subsequent segment starts at the position at which the previous
segment ended. The slave position is defined in terms of position user
units.
