RP6 ROBOT SYSTEM -  4. Programming the RP6

After customizing and opening a sample project  

according to the next section

  PN2 

should look like in the following screenshot:

On the left side you see all sample projects in a treeview, the the source editor (fea-

turing the previously discussed syntax highlighting) is on the right and and the tool 

output (in this case the compiler output) is on the bottom.
You can customize PN2 in various other ways and it provides a great number of useful 

functions.
