This section explains how to use position monitoring to display the current positions of the axes.
6.4.1 Outline of Position Monitor
The Position Monitor Window displays and periodically updates the current positions of the
axes controlled by the Machine Controller.
The current positions are displayed for both the workpiece coordinate system coordinates
and the machine coordinate system coordinates. With a MP900-series Machine Controller,
only one axis is displayed.
