Tool Diagnostics

To diagnose a tool, the angle or torque sensor, it is possible to start Sensor tracking in the Tool menu. A Sensor tracking session has a time out of 20 minutes. A warning is shown 5 minutes before timeout and it is then possible to extend the session or to stop it.

Sensor tracking is only possible for cable tools.

It is only possible to start one Sensor tracking session for each controller at a time.
