Visualisation of axis positions
The MotionOfAxes visualisation is used to display the current positions of up to 10 axes. The positions are fetched from the HLI by the program of the same name and are saved in local variables which are then displayed by the visualisation. In addition, other state data is displayed for each axis and their meaning is described below.
