11.3 PolyScope Programming Interface
The picture above shows the Welcome Screen. The bluish areas of the screen are buttons that
can be pressed by pressing a finger or the backside of a pen against the screen. PolyScope has a
hierarchical structure of screens. In the programming environment, the screens are arranged in
tabs, for easy access on the screens.
In this example, the Program tab is selected at the top level, and under that the Structure
tab is selected. The Program tab holds information related to the currently loaded program.
If the Move tab is selected, the screen changes to the Move screen, from where the robot arm
can be moved. Similarly, by selecting the I/O tab, the current state of the electrical I/O can be
monitored and changed.
It is possible to connect a mouse and a keyboard to the control box or the teach pendant; how-
ever, this is not required. Almost all text fields are touch-enabled, so touching them launches an
on-screen keypad or keyboard.
The various screens of PolyScope are described in the following sections.
