MC-Basic:LOADCAMDATA

This command causes data to be loaded from a file into a CAM data structure. Any existing data structure, associated with the specified cam table, is erased. The CAM data structure ose available for use only after the entire process of loading the data is complete. ControlStudio allows you to add a CSV CAM file to your project. It then converts it to binary format automatically when the project is loaded.

The monotonicity of the master data is checked. If the data are not monotonic, the data are still loaded, but a message (severity note) is given.
