[Tools]-[Robot Manager]-[Arms] Page

This page allows you to define Arm settings for a robot. When the tab is selected, the current Arm values are displayed. The tab is disabled if the current robot does not support the Arm command.

A grid is used to display all the values for all 15 arm configurations you can define.

When an arm is undefined, then all fields for that arm will be blank. When you enter a value in any of the fields for an undefined arm, then the remaining fields will be set to zero and the tool will be defined when you click the [Apply] button.

For more details on arm settings, refer to the following manual:

"SPEL+ Language Reference - ArmSet Statement"
