The profile mode may be programmed independently for each axis. For
example axis #1 may be in trapezoidal point to point mode while axis
#2 is in S-curve point to point.
Generally, the axis should be at rest when switching profile modes.
Under certain conditions however, switching into certain profile modes
"on-the-fly" is allowed. See specific profile descriptions for details.
S-curve Point to Point
The following table summarizes the host specified profile parameters
for the S-curve point to point profile mode:

* uses 1/216 scaling. Chipset expects a 32 bit number which
has been scaled by a factor of 65,536 from units of
steps/cycle. For example to specify a velocity of 2.75
steps/cycle 2.75 is multiplied by 65,536 and the result is sent
to the chipset as a 32 bit integer (180,224 dec. or 2c000 hex.).
** uses 1/216 scaling. Chipset expects a 16 bit number which
has been scaled by a factor of 65,536 from units of
steps/cycle2. For example to specify an acceleration of .175
steps/cycle2, .175 is multiplied by 65,536 and the result is
sent to the chipset as a 16 bit integer (11,469 dec. or 2ccd
hex).
*** uses 1/232 scaling. Chipset expects a 32 bit number which
has been scaled by a factor of 4,294,967,296 (232) from units
of steps/cycle3. For example to specify a jerk value of .0075
steps/cycle3, .0075 is multiplied by 4,294,967,296 and the
result is sent to the chipset as a 32 bit integer (32,212,256
dec. or 1eb8520 hex).

S-curve profile
The S-curve profile drives the axis at the specified jerk until the
maximum acceleration is reached. (phase I). it will then drive the axis at
jerk = 0 (constant acceleration) through phase II. It will then drive the
axis at the negative of the specified jerk though phase III, such that the
axis reaches the specified maximum velocity with acceleration = 0. This
completes the acceleration phase. At the end of the acceleration phase
of the move, the velocity will be constant, and the acceleration will be 0.
At the appropriate time, the profile will then decelerate (phases V, VI
and VII) symmetrically to the acceleration phase such that it arrives at
the destination position with acceleration and velocity = 0.
There are several conditions where the actual velocity graph of an S-
curve motion will not contain all of the segments shown in the above
figure. For example, if the max. acceleration is not reached before the
"half-way" point to the max. velocity, then the actual velocity profile will
not contain a phase II or a phase VI segment (they will have a duration
of 0 cycles). Such a profile is shown below:

S-curve that doesn't reach max. acceleration
Another such condition is if the position is specified such that max.
velocity is not reached. In this case there will be no phase IV, and there
may also be no phase II and VI, depending on where the profile is
"truncated".
While the S-curve profile is in motion, the user is not allowed to
change any of the profile parameters. The axis must be at rest
before a new set of profile parameters can be executed. If
parameters are changed during motion then a 'command error'
