  • 3D pixel information is available in replay mode.

  • Added an overlay to show the ODS zone or overhanging load actually used by the algorithm, in cases where it differs from the one visualized.

  • Refresh the displayed configuration when it is modified externally, for example if the ODS zones are modified using the ifm3d API. Only for O3R firmware version above 1.4.11.
