Display Configuration
The Display Configuration form is where the operator determines
which axes are displayed, and in what order.

Scroll to the Angle Display field if the encoder type is set to Rotary.
Press the ANGLE soft key to display the position as 0° - 360°, ±
180°, ± infinity, or RPM.
Error Compensation
The distance a cutting tool travels, measured by an encoder, can in
certain cases, differ from the actual tool travel. This error can occur
due to ball screw pitch error or deflection and tilting of axes. This error
can either be linear, or non-linear. These errors can be determined with
a reference measurement system, ex. gauge blocks, laser, etc. From
an analysis of the error, it can be determined which form of
compensation is required, linear, or non-linear error.
The VUE provides the opportunity to compensate for these errors, and
each axis can be programmed separately with the appropriate
compensation.
Error compensation is only available when using linear
encoders.
