Variable Waypoint
Description A variable waypoint moves to a position determined by a variable in PolyScope.
The variable must be in the pose URScript format, p[x, y, z, rx, ry, rz], allowing a single
waypoint in the Program Tree to be updated by changing the X, Y, Z, RX, RY, or RZ
value without manually resetting the waypoint.
When to use:
•
If combined with scripting elements.
•
When receiving data from external devices for positioning like cameras, etc.
When not to use:
•
When a specific location must be reached repeatably.
•
If you are not using variables or external devices.
•
If a waypoint must be moved manually, or redefined by either jogging or
freedrive.
