Example: Simplest possible linear cam for endlessly rotating processing

The figure above with two slave position entries is the simplest conceivable cam description of a straight line in the form of a table.

Peculiarities:

The cam must be used endlessly in the positive direction. Otherwise, the dashed curve is run through.

With closed scanning, the resulting straight line must pass exactly through the modulo range of the slave, in other words, it must have slope 1, otherwise a position jump will take place at the modulo limit. This means that a GearIn with a 1:1 ratio can be reproduced with a straight line of slope 1 as curve.

If you want to duplicate a GearIn with a straight line that has a pitch of 1, this is not possible with closed scanning!
