Execute Path Button
- Executes the path selected in the
Paths
list. The robot moves to the positions in numeric order.
WARNING
The Execute button moves the robot from its current position
directly
to the first position in the Path Position list in one direct
motion. Make sure there is a clear path to the first position before
clicking the Execute button to prevent a robot crash or spilling of
material contents.
Path Positions List
- Displays the positions in the path selected in
the
Paths
drop-down list. The Teach Wizard creates an Approach
path and Clear path for an instrument if you teach Clear positions
when the wizard asks if the arm is clear to move all the way up
vertically.
