PolyScope Overview

Description

PolyScope is the Graphical User Interface (GUI) on the Teach Pendant that operates the robot arm via a touch screen. You create, load and execute programs for the robot in PolyScope. The PolyScope interface is divided as shown in the following illustration:

  • A: Header with icons/tabs that make interactive screens available to you.
  • B: Footer with buttons that control your loaded program/s.
  • C: Screen with fields and options to manage and monitor robot actions.

 
Using the Touch Screen

The touch sensitivity is designed to avoid false selections on PolyScope, and to prevent unexpected motion of the robot.

 

The Teach Pendant touch screen is optimized for use in industrial environments. Unlike consumer electronics, Teach Pendant touch screen sensitivity is, by design, more resistant to environmental factors such as:

  • water droplets and/or machine coolant droplets

  • radio wave emissions

  • other conducted noise from the operating environment.

For best results, use the tip of your finger to make a selection on the screen.

In this manual, this is referred to as a "tap".

A commercially available stylus may be used to make selections on the screen if desired.
