Table Header and Table Edit mode
The table edit mode (Figure 64) is automatically entered whenever you select on the table header cards. Table header cards are the cards which define the size of the table. Cards 8-0, 9-0 for torque tables for vehicle 1 & 2, cards 10-0, 11-0 for steering tables for vehicle 1 & 2, etc,
The pop-up dialog displays the table definition fields for the selected table with the variable name to the left and input units to the right for each input.
When you make a change to any of the fields of the Table definition card (Start Time, End Time, Time Increment) the table edit dialog pops up with the button Update Tables.
Figure 63 Table edit mode Update Table Button
This button is used to change the size of the table based on your new specifications. (For example: Your table is from a start time of 0.0 to and end time of 0.5 with an increment of 0.10 seconds. The table requires 6 table entries. If you change the table end time to 0.40 seconds. That would now require 5 table entries.) The Update Table button would appear to alert you that your table size had changed.
You can select the Update Table button by either Clicking on the button with the mouse or using the keyboard shortcut Alt-U. Also, selection of the OK button or any command that requests to leave the active Table card will bring up the Update Table dialog boxes. The Update Table action produces one of the following popup dialog boxes:
