13.7 Installation
Here the mounting of the robot arm can be specified. This serves two purposes:
1. Making the robot arm look right on the screen.
2. Telling the controller about the direction of gravity.

precise motions, and to make the robot arm hold itself when in Freedrive mode. For
this reason, it is very important that the mounting of the robot arm be set correctly.
The default is that the robot arm is mounted on a flat table or floor, in which case no
change is needed on this screen. However, if the robot arm is ceiling mounted, wall
mounted or mounted at an angle, this needs to be adjusted using the push-buttons.
The buttons on the right side of the screen are for setting the angle of the robot
