Is it possible to do the following in Measurement Studio in 2D or 3D?
A machine kinematics has a ring and a cart. I would like to move the cart along the ring according to my program control.
Thanks.

Measurement Studio does not provide any high-level controls for this particular purpose.
However, depending on your requirements (specifically, how detailed you need the track and cart visuals to be), you might be able to use the ScatterGraph and Annotations to implement a satisfactory solution.
For example, you would use a plot on the ScatterGraph to represent the track and a point annotation to represent the cart. You could use a bitmap for the background to provide a custom graphic for the track. You can draw a custom shape if you want to create a more complex graphic for the cart than just a square or a circle. (However, you couldn't easily use a bitmap for the annotation shape). For information on how to draw a custom annotation shape, see the Measurement Studio help topic "Creating a Custom Annotation Shape for the Measurement Studio Windows Forms Scatter and Waveform Graph .NET Controls".
