13.10 Installation Variables
13.10 Installation
Variables created here are called installation variables and can be used just like
normal program variables. Installation variables are special because they keep their
value even if a program is stopped and then started again, and when the robot arm
and/or control box is powered down and powered up again. Their names and
values are stored with the installation, so it is possible to use the same variable in
multiple programs.
Pressing Create New will bring up a panel with a suggested name for the new
variable. The name may be changed and its value may be entered by touching
either text field. The OK-button can only clicked if the new name is unused in this
installation.
It is possible to change the value of an installation variable by highlighting the
variable in the list and then clicking on Edit Value.
To delete a variable, select it in the list, then click Delete.
After configuring the installation variables, the installation itself must be saved to
keep this configuration, see 13.5. The installation variables and their values are also
saved automatically every 10 minutes.
If a program or an installation is loaded and one or more of the program variables
have the same name as the installation variables, the user is presented with two
