With a fixed point, you define a single fixed position. The transitions between adjacent cam
segments are optimally calculated by CamTool.

If you want to specify an arbitrary characteristic, you must use interpolation points. The
interpolation points are connected by CamTool with cubic splines in order to generate a
curve specified by the interpolation points which is as exact as possible.
