DME
Operations
Coordinate axes
This is a three-dimensional display of coordinates in local
or global coordinate space. You can check the origin of the
axes and the directions of the X-, Y-, and Z-axes.
Channel ID
This displays the channel number so that you can check
which channel you are using, a useful feature when you are
working with multiple channels.
Channel IDs are displayed differently in local and global
coordinate space.
•
In local coordinate space, the channel number is
displayed along with “F” or “B” to indicate whether you
are looking at the front (F) or back (B) of the current wire
frame. For example, “1F” means the front of the wire
frame on channel 1 in local coordinate space.
•
In global coordinate space, the channel number is
displayed along with “G” to indicate global. For
example, “G2” means channel 2 in global coordinate
space.
Shrinking the graphics display
You can shrink the graphics display so that you can see
beyond the range displayed on the normal monitor screen.
This makes it possible to visually set the location of images
in a larger space. The range displayed on a normal monitor
screen is indicated by a frame.

To automatically erase the graphic display
Turn Auto Erase on. The graphic display is erased
automatically whenever a keyframe is executed. It is
displayed again after the keyframe ends, after the time set
in Recovery Time.
Flex Shadow center axis
When using the Flex Shadow function (see page 296), turn
Flex Shadow Axis on to display the Flex Shadow center
axis. This is an effective aid in making settings for this
function.
Notes
Grid
Wire frame, local coordinate space axes, and channel ID
The Flex Shadow center axis function is not supported on
the MVE-8000A.
This is a grid pattern representing the whole of the monitor
screen. The grid makes it easy to set the position of an
image in two-dimensional coordinates.

Three-Dimensional Parameter
Display
You can display a three-dimensional parameter list for the
currently controlled image. When more than one DME
channel is selected, the status of the reference channel is
displayed.
For the method of displaying a parameter list and an
example display, see “Viewing the three-dimensional
parameter details” (page 286).
Special Effects
You can use DME to add a variety of special effects.
The special effects shown below can be applied.
