XYZ is the location of the FOV center in relation to the current alignment origin.
VX, VY, and VZ are the locations of the gage to the current alignment origin. If the gage is centered within the Field of View (FOV), then the XYZ and VX, VY, and VZ values will be the same. Use the left mouse button to independently drag the gage to the needed position.
DX, DY,
and DZ are used with gages to display relative distances. These values are independent
from the currently alignment origin and can be independently zeroed
using the Zero Readouts
DXYZ button (
