Recommendation
Tools are automatically
named tool followed by a
running number, for example
tool10 or tool21.
You are recommended to
change this to something
more descriptive such as gun,
gripper or welder.
Note
If you change the name of a
tool after it is referenced in
any program you must also
change all occurrences of that
tool.
Tools should be global, if it
should be available to all the
modules in the program.
Tool variables must always
be persistent.
