Third axis name

This is the name of the third axis, normally represented by the Z axis, used in 3D

programmed path visualization mode.

Visualization type

This parameter configures the plot type and the axis that displays on the screen, as a result.

The following bulleted list describes the three plot types.

• 2D (2D programmed path visualization) – This displays the programmed position for

horizontal and vertical axes. In this mode, rapid moves appear in red and cutting

motion in green.

• 2D + FE (2D programmed and actual path visualization) – This plots two types of

information: the Programmed Position, which is the programmed path, and the

Programmed Position Plus Following E rror, which is the actual plot (displayed in

whit e).

• 3D (3D programmed path visualization) – This type of visualization displays the

programmed position for the horizontal, vertical, and third axes. In this mode, rapid

moves appear in red and cutting motion in green. The {DIMENS} softkey is not

available in this mode.

2D axes orientation

This defines the orientation of the visualized axes. Figure 2 for a graphical deptication of the

axis directions.

EXAMPLE

The Programmed Position shows the desired path, while the

Programmed Position Plus Following Error depicts the actual path. For

example, when programming a 90-degree corner, the Programmed

Position shows the 90-degree change in direction. On the other hand, the

Following E rror plot shows the rounding of the corner, resulting from

the following error that actually occurs on the machine.
