PolyScope X Overview

PolyScope X is the Graphical User Interface (GUI) installed on the Teach Pendant that operates the robot arm via a touch screen. The PolyScope X interface allows you to create, load and execute programs.

Screen Layout

The interface is divided as shown in the following illustration:

  • Header - with button to load or create programs and access program modules.

  • Left Header - with icons/tabs to select a main screen.

  • Right Header - with icons/tabs to select a multitask screen.

  • Footer - with buttons to control robot power and your loaded program.

Screen Combinations

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 also can hide the multitask screen if it is not needed.

  • Main screen - with fields and options to manage and monitor robot actions.

  • Multitask screen - with fields and options often relating to the main screen.

    The right header expands to the middle of the screen to accommodate the multitask screen.

  2. Tap the currently selected icon in the right header to hide the multitask screen.
