6.3.6 Program and motion pointers
The Program pointer
The Program Pointer (PP) indicates the instruction with which the program will
start when you press the
Start
,
Forward
, or
Backward
buttons on the FlexPendant.
Program execution continues from the instruction where the Program Pointer is
placed. However, if the cursor is moved to another instruction when the program
is stopped, the Program Pointer can be moved to the position of the cursor (or the
cursor can be moved to the Program Pointer), and execution can be restarted from
that position.
The Program Pointer is shown as an arrow to the left of a line in program code in
Code Editor
of
Code
and in
Advanced View
of
Operate
.
The Motion pointer
The Motion Pointer (MP) indicates the instruction that the robot is currently
executing. This is normally one or more instructions after the Program Pointer, as
the system executes and calculates the robot path faster than the robot moves.
The Motion Pointer is shown as a small robot to the left of the program code in
Code Editor
of
Code
and in
Advanced View
of
Operate
.
The cursor
The cursor indicates a complete instruction or any of the arguments.
The cursor is shown as blue highlighting of the program code in
Code Editor
of
Code
.
