Simulation is a previous debugging procedure to save cost and time when creating
real stations.
The following is a recommended flow for working with PickMaster PowerPac. After
you complete the workflow, you can perform these task in any order.
Note
The controller (contains at least one robot system) should be set up in
RobotStudio environment before starting PickMaster PowerPac, as the PickMaster
PowerPac provides only a method for creating paths but not functions for creating
a virtual controller.
