PolyScope X Overview

PolyScope X is the software installed on the teach pendant that operates the robot arm via touch screen. The PolyScope X interface allows you to create, load, and execute programs.

1. Tap the 3D Viewer icon on the main navigation. This gives you a three-dimensional view of the robot arm in X-Y-Z coordinates.

2. To maximize the 3D viewing area, collapse the multitask screen using the sidebar icons.

   • Tap once to switch between panels of the multitask screen.

   • Tap an already-selected icon to close the multitask screen.

The main screen and the multitask screen make up the operating screen combination for the robot.

The multitask screen is independent of the main screen so you can do separate tasks. For example, you can configure a program in the main screen while moving the robot arm in the multitask screen. You can also hide the multitask screen if it is not needed.

• Main screen

  Contains fields and options to manage and monitor robot actions.

• Multitask screen
