Yt_CA_CurveType	Curve Types
	0	NA	Not a valid option
	1	StraightLine	Straight Line	Provides synchronized velocity of master and slave. Typically used in combination with one or more segments of another curve type to provide a complete solution for axes that must synchronize for a portion of the machine cycle, and must also reposition or resynchronize for future cycles.
	2	Parabolic	Parabolic	The velocity is linearly increasing and then decreasing down to zero and the end of the segment. The acceleration is a constant value. Downside: can excite vibration. ModifiedTrapezoid is an improvement
	3	SimpleHarmonic	Simple Harmonic	This is one of the discontinuous curves that can easily cause vibration, but it is good for low speed applications. When this curve is used for no dwell applications, (out and back) the discontinuity of acceleration at the starting and end points is not a factor and this curve is regarded as the best for no dwell use. The Modified Sine curve is considered an improvement over Simple Harmonic.
	4	Cycloidal	Cycloidal
	5	ModifiedTrapezoid	Modified Trapezoid
	6	ModifiedSine	Modifined Sine
	7	ModifiedConstantVelocity	Modified Constant velocity profile
	8	AsymmetricalCycloidal	Asymmetrical Cycloidal
	9	AsymmetricalModifiedTrapezoid	Asymmetrical Modified Trapezoid
	10	Trapecloid	Trapecloid
	11	OneDwellCycloidal_1	One dwell cycloidal m = 1
	12	OneDwellCycloidal_2_3	One dwell cycloidal m = 2/3
	13	OneDwellTrapezoid_1	One dwell trapezoid m = 1
	14	OneDwellTrapezoid	One dwell trapezoid
	15	OneDwellTrapezoid_2_3	One Dwell Trapezoid m = 2/3
	16	OneDwellModifiedSine	One Dwell Modified Sine
	17	OneDwellTrapecloid	One Dwell Trapecloid
	18	NoDwellSimpleHarmonic	No Dwell Simple Harmonic
	19	NoDwellModifiedTrapezoid	No Dwell Modified Trapezoid
	20	NoDwellModifiedConstVelocity	No Dwell Modified Constant Velocity
	21	NC2Curve	NC2 Curve
	22	TangentMatching	Tangent Matching	Requires a Straight Line before and after this segment. A two segment cam is allowed; in this case the Straight Line segment is considered the previous and the next segment. The ideal situation for Tangent Matching is the case where the master travels two times the slave distance in the segment. If the slave calculations result in reversed motion, use the Bezier curve for improved results.
	23	ReverseTrapecloid	Reverse Trapecloid
	24	DoubleHarmonic	Double Harmonic
	25	ReverseDoubleHarmonic	Reverse Double Harmonic
	26	TangentBlending	Tangent Blending	Requires a Straight Line before and after this segment. A two segment cam is allowed; in this case the Straight Line segment is considered the previous and the next segment. The ideal situation for Tangent Blending is the case where the master travels two times the slave distance in the segment. If the slave calculations result in reversed motion, use the Bezier curve for improved results
	27	Unsupported27	Unsupported27
	28	Unsupported28	Unsupported28
	29	UserModifiedConstVelocity	User Modified Constant Velocity
	30	Polynomial345	Polynomial345
	31	CubicSpline	Cubic Spline	This curve can be used on its own, or between two straight line segments. It is best applied as a series of cubic spline segments for which the formula will provide smooth motion while passing through each of the specified points.
	32	Arc	Arc	Arc is generated by a special formula type which uses Radius and Direction elements
	33	ParabolicVelocityBlend	Parabolic Velocity Blend	The velocity is linearly changing to the endpoint of the segment.
	34	Bezier	Bezier (Non reversing)	The Bezier curve requires a straight line segment before and after the bezier curve. The formula uses non reversing constraints which means that the profile will be calculated such that no portion of the curve witll result in a negative slave axis velocity. This curve will apply asmooth jerk profile when some part of the slave profile needs to come to zero velocity to prevent negative motion.
