4.8.2 Job Arguments
Job Arguments are a way to pass variables and data from one job to
another with a use of Call and GetArgument command. For example, a
user may want to pass the position of a part to a subroutine (child job) that
executes the picking motions. To use Job Arguments, the basic
procedure is:
1. Configure the child job using the Additional Settings panel
2. Add the Call command with arguments in the parent job
3. Add the GetArgument command in the child job to get values
4. Store values in local variables
4.8.2.1 Configuration
1. Select {Job List} under {MENU}
2. Select the particular job from the list of job.
3. Press the {Additional Settings} expansion icon at the bottom of the Job
Details panel.
– Under the {Job Argument Configuration}, there will be no named Job
Arguments by default.
4. Press the {+ NEW ARGUMENT} to name a new argument.
– A default argument named “Arg#” (e.g. Arg1, Arg2, Arg3) is created.
– A job can have up to 8 Job Arguments
