To facilitate and to validate the adjustment of the geometry, ILG software gives a 3D visualization of the tool geometry. The visualization consists of three screens, each showing a different viewing direction, able to capture every tool movement. The division of the viewing directions is determined by the three main planes of the coordinate system (X/Y, X/Z, Y/Z).

Real-time tool movement enables the user to validate the tool configuration is in the correct direction, and make sure that the rotation and movement is correct.

To get the full view of the tool model, select the Fit button, and the picture automatically scales to the actual tool position. The scaling in all three planes is independent from each other.

Changes in the configured geometry are immediately displayed in the Model tab. This real-time visualization makes possible to quickly verify the model and adjust movements between the geometric model and the real tool.

To validate the model, always make sure that the geometry is correct by moving the tool and watching the model on the screen. If a direction moves different than expected, then change the direction vector sign of the corresponding sensor entry.

Note that different elements of the model require different views for their verification. For example, a sensor that covers a vertical movement, cannot be verified by looking at the XY view. This is why ILG provides views in all three main planes of the 3D Cartesian system.
