3-D Grid Data File Type

A 3-D grid is a sequence of multipart ID numbers arranged to describe a path through
a three-dimensional matrix. Each part of the ID number corresponds to a particular
matrix dimension.
A 3-D (three-dimensional) sequence begins with the ID number that refers to the first
column, the first row, and the first point. Each time you press [SAVE/SEND], the
value for the first dimension increments by one while the values for the other two
dimensions remain unchanged. When the sequence reaches the last value of the first
dimension, the value for the second dimension increments by one. This continues
until the ID number that refers to the last column, last row and last point is reached.
You can select either the columns, rows, or points to increment first.
A three-dimensional grid structure may associate two dimensions of the grid (for
example, the columns and rows) with the physical coordinates on the part whose wall
thickness is to be measured. The particular measurement points on each part are then
