1 Put a mark on the conveyor belt, for example draw a line or attach a piece
of tape, and a mark on the side of the conveyor at the same location.
2 In the FlexPendant Program Editor, load and run the program ppacal.prg.
This sets the current position of the conveyor to zero. The value is shown
as CNV value in the Position part of the FlexPendant Jogging window.
3 Run the conveyor belt approximately 1 meter.
4 In the FlexPendant Jogging window, read the position of the conveyor. This
is position1.
5 Measure the physical distance between the two marks. This is the value
measured_meters.

Description
The conveyor position after moving.
For DSQC 2000: Read from predefined I/O signal on the
FlexPendant or RobotStudio. For example, CNV1, the
signal name is c1counts.
The manually measured distance in meters that the
conveyor has been moved.
