Abstract:
A method of non-linear display of routes of at least one of a machine-tool and another mechanism, the method comprising the steps of:determining a set path based on stored commands and determining an actual path based on actual displacements during operation of the at least one of a machine-tool and another mechanism resulting from execution of the stored commands; graphically displaying the set path and components of the actual path, which extend parallel to the set path, at a first scale; graphically displaying components of the actual path, which extend perpendicular to the set path, at a second scale different from the first scale; graphically displaying, at selected points of the set path, the set path and the components of the actual path, which extend parallel to the set path, at a third scale; and graphically displaying, at the set path, the components of the actual path, which extend perpendicular to the set path, at a fourth scale.
