3 System Overview
3.1 Software
The complete Portal software package has several components. Every operator must
understand what each piece of software is and its function before you operate the
workcell.
3.1.1 Portal
Portal is the main user interface that allows the user to interact with the workcell. It sets
the mode the workcell is operating in, allows the operator to monitor each system of
the workcell, allows the operator to select different PathMaster routines, and conveys
system messages to the user.
3.1.2 PathMaster®
PathMaster is PVA’s Windows®-based programming software. It is used to create,
maintain and download project files for the workcell. Refer to the PathMaster manual
for more information.
