The following items are known issues in NI Motion Assistant 2.8 sorted by Category.
ID | Known Issue | |||||
---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
Graphical User Interface | ||||||
188126 Return | Cursor disappears when interacting with the position and velocity plots. Workaround: None.
| |||||
237934 Return | NI Motion Assistant can crash if you press buttons too quickly. Pressing any button or combination of buttons faster than about 5 clicks per second can cause NI Motion Assistant to crash. Workaround: None.
| |||||
PVT | ||||||
201636 Return | NI Motion Assistant PVT interpolations cause increasing acceleration oscillations with increased profile length. In applications where velocity is not held constant, as NI Motion Assistant performs a contour move using a PVT file, over an extended contour the acceleration term begins to oscillate. The oscillation increases the longer the move profile is. Workaround: None.
| |||||
Script Execution | ||||||
134221 Return | Running a script for multiple days may cause NI Motion Assistant to crash. Workaround: None.
| |||||
206181 Return | Returning the move to the origin in NI Motion Assistant can cause improper behavior. When using NI Motion Assistant to perform a series of blended straight-line moves to create a square, returning to the origin coordinate of (0,0) can cause an improper dip in velocity on the the last straight-line move. Workaround: If the final move returns to 1,1 rather than 0,0 the moves will blend properly. Alternatively, the square can be created moving in a counterclockwise direction.
