Motion types in CAM design tool

I am a student currently working on drawing a displacement diagram for a CAM.  We were given all the parameters necessary for our simple example to draw it out.  Next we are to create the same CAM and displacement diagram in AutoCAD Mechanical.

 

All seems kosher except that the terminology that we are using for motion is different then that of AM's.

 

We have:  Dwell, Modified Uniform, Simple Harmonic, and Uniformly Accelerated.

AM has:  Dwell, Quadratic Parabolic, Simple Sine, Leaning Sine, Modified Trapezoid, and 5th Polynomial.

 

So this is what I did:

Dwell = Dwell

Modified Uniform = Quadratic Parabolic

Simple Harmonic = Leaning Sine

Uniformly Accelerated = Modified Trapezoid

 

Or am I getting that wrong.  I tried looking up the types of motion in help but got nothing.  Can anyone clear up the terminology a bit?
