Program Tab

Description

The Program tab is the where you create and edit robot programs. There are two main areas:

  • The left side contains the program nodes you can add to your robot program.

    You can use the Basic, Advanced and Template dropdowns to the very left.

  • The right side contains the configuration of the program nodes you can add to your program.

    You can use Command, Graphics and Variables options.

 

Program Tree

The program tree is built as you add program nodes to your program.

You can use the Command tab to configure the functionality of the added program nodes.

 

Adding program nodes

  • You cannot run an empty program tree or a program containing incorrectly configured program nodes.

  • Incorrectly configured programs nodes are higlighted in yellow.

  • Correctly configured program nodes are highlighted in white.
Program Execution Indication

Robot programs often become quite long, so order to be able to see the flow of the robot program, you can look at what program node is active.

 

When the program is running, the program node currently being executed is indicated by a small icon next to that node.

The path of execution is highlighted with blue arrow .

Tapping the icon at the corner of the program allows it to track the command being executed

Search Button

You can also search for a specific command/program node. This is useful when you have a long program with many different program nodes.
