These changes in radial shaft position can be directly observed via the
Shaft CenterLine
plot.
To draw this graph, two displacement measures, normally collected by means of proximity probes, are
needed as sources. As in the case of the Orbit graph, the two points must be placed orthogonally to
reconstruct the position of the shaft in two dimensions.
