Introduction - Universal Robots UR-6-85-5-A User Manual

3.1 Introduction

PolyScope is the graphical user interface (GUI) which lets you operate the robot,
run existing robot programs or easily create new ones. PolyScope runs on the
touch sensitive screen attached to the control box. To calibrate the touch
screen, read section 3.5.5.
The picture above shows the Welcome Screen, with a popup saying that the
robot is emergency stopped. The bluish areas of the screen are buttons that
can be pressed by pressing a finger or the backside of a pen. PolyScope has a
hierarchical structure of screens. In the programming environment, the screens
are arranged in tabs, for easy access on the screens.
In this example, the Program tab is selected at the top level, and under that
the Structure tab is selected. The Program tab holds information related to the
currently loaded program. If the Move tab is selected, the screen changes to the
'Move' screen, from where the robot can be moved. Similarly, by selecting the
I/O tab, the current state of the electrical I/O can be monitored and changed.
It is possible to connect a mouse and a keyboard to the controller box; how-
ever, this is not required. Whenever a text or number input is needed, an on-
screen keypad or keyboard is provided.
The on-screen keypad, keyboard and expression editor can be reached using
the buttons shown above.
The various screens of PolyScope are described in the following sections.
