Variables

Description

A robot program can make use of variables to store and update values during runtime. The variables in the table below are available: Installation variables These can be used by multiple programs and their names and values are persisted together with the robot installation. Installation variables keep their value after the robot and control box has been rebooted. Regular program variables These are available to the running program only and their values are lost as soon as the program is stopped. Show waypoints allows the robot program to use script variables to store information about waypoints. You can select the Show Waypoints checkbox, under Variables to show script variables in the variables list.
