path_offset_enable()

Enable path offsetting.

Path offsetting is used to superimpose a Cartesian offset onto the robot motion as it follows a trajectory. This is useful for instance for imposing a weaving motion onto a welding task, or to compensate for the effect of moving the base of the robot while following a trajectory.

Path offsets can be applied in various frames of reference and in various ways. Please refer to the script function path_offset_set for further explanation.

Enabling path offsetting doesn’t cancel the effects of previous calls to the script functions path_offset_set_max_offset and path_offset_set_alpha_filter. Path offset configuration will persist through cycles of enable and disable.

Using Path offset at the same time as Conveyor Tracking and/or Force can lead to program conflict. Do not use this function togther with Conveyor Tracking and/or Force.
