12.12 Installation → Features
The meaning of such and similar questions is very straightforward to an average cus-
tomer who intends to use a robot arm for instance at various stations in a production
plant, and it may seem annoying and incomprehensible to the customer to be told that
there may not be a simple answer to such relevant questions. There are several compli-
cated reasons for this being the case, and in order to address these problems, Universal
Robots has developed unique and simple ways for a customer to specify the location
of various objects relative to the robot arm. Within a few steps, it is therefore possible
to do exactly what was asked for in the above questions.

a variable named the name of the feature suceeded by “ var” will then be available
