• Null Space admittance mode - end effector stays in the same pose while the user manipulates
the joints of the arm (within the null space). The arm moves within the null space according to
the external torques applied.
It is also possible to take advantage of the admittance mode to manually move the robot into a
pose and then capture a snapshot of that pose for future reference (Normally, when not in an
admittance mode, the joints will resist being manipulated by external forces / torques).
From the admittance mode panel it is possible to add a Cartesian or Angular pose by clicking the
snapshot button .

Users can either view all notifications, or view notifications by type. There are four types of
notifications:
• Config - indicates a change in robot configuration such as creating, modifying, deleting, or
activating a User Profile, Protection Zone, Action or Control mapping
• Info - information message for the user
• Warning - Warning state reached. Arm parameter is moving out of the normal range and will
reach Error state if the trend continues.
• Error - Error state reached. Arm parameter is significantly outside normal bounds. Triggers
an emergency stop.
The notifications list appearing in the window can be sorted by Type, Date, User, and Item,

If there are many notifications of a particular type, they will be grouped into pages.
