5.3.6 About the Program and Motion Pointers
The Program Pointer
The Program Pointer (PP) indicates the instruction with which the program will
start when you press any of the
Start
,
Forward
, or
Backward
buttons on the
FlexPendant.
Program execution continues from the instruction where the Program Pointer is.
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 there.
The Program Pointer is shown as a yellow arrow to the left of the program code in
the
Program Editor
and
Production Window
.
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 the
Program Editor
and in the
Production Window
.
The cursor
The cursor can indicate a complete instruction or any of the arguments.
The cursor is shown as blue highlighting of the program code in the
Program
Editor
.
Program Editor
If you toggle between the
Program Editor
and another view and back again, the
Program Editor
will show the same part of the code as long as the program pointer
has not been moved. If the program pointer is moved, the
Program Editor
shows
the code at the position of the program pointer.
The same behavior applies to the
Production Window
.
