To describe the location in space and time of the axis of an item relative to an origin axis; Euclidean geometry has been assumed with orthogonal axes; the sequence of axes has been chosen in the customary sequence of X, Y, and Z, however, it is possible to just use two-dimensional space rather than three-dimensional space
Code qualifying the Reference Identification
LOC01 through LOC03 describe the item.
Reference information as defined for a particular Transaction Set or as specified by the Reference Identification Qualifier
A free-form description to clarify the related data elements and their content

LOC04 is a description of the positional reference point on the item.
An alphanumeric identifier to represent the category to which the item belongs

LOC05 through LOC08 describe the environment in which the item is placed.
Reference information as defined for a particular Transaction Set or as specified by the Reference Identification Qualifier
LOC09 is a description of the positional reference point in the environment.
This is the origin of the original axes.
The value of the measurement
LOC10 through LOC15 describe the translation in the three-dimensional space of the axes with respect to the original axes.
LOC10 is the principal X axis of the item.
LOC10 through LOC14 describe the principal XY plane of the item.
The value of the measurement
The value of the measurement
The value of the measurement
LOC16 is measured with respect to the XY plane around the X axis.
All angular positions of an axis vector are measured in a counter-clockwise rotation around the original axis vector, looking from the positive direction of the vector towards the origin. The angular unit is specified by the corresponding unit of measurement, as in LOC17, LOC19, and LOC21.
The value of the measurement
LOC18 is measured with respect to the YZ plane around the Y axis.
The value of the measurement
LOC20 is measured with respect to the ZX plane around the Z axis.
